Recently, a novel viral agent, hepatitis G virus, was identified by independent researchers from the serum of patients with liver disease, and termed GBV-C or HGV. At present, GBV-C and HGV are considered to be separate isolates of the same virus; however, the role of this virus in acute and chronic liver disease remains uncertain. Although vertical transmission is known to be one of the routes of transmission, the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV viremia in pregnant Japanese women is unknown. Thus, we determined this prevalence using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
