pubmed:abstractText |
Many advances have been made in the sensitivity of assays for hepatitis C virus antibodies (HCV-Ab). Nevertheless, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is still the best method to establish if infection has become chronic. In this study we utilised third-generation assays for HCV-Ab in a four-year follow-up to determine the trend in antibody levels in currently and past infected patients.
