摘要: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains isolated from 68 haemodialysis Tunisian patients exhibiting chronic infection were genotyped targeting the NS5b region of HCV genome using a prototype assay developed by Bayer HealthCare-Diagnostics (TRUGENE HCV). The overall results compared to those obtained with another same company based on sequencing 5' non-coding 5'NC genotyping kit). All could be typed typing kit, but only 62 (91; 2%) assay. both methods exhibited pattern at type level: 57 1, 3 2, and 2 4. At subtype level, eight that gave undetermined kit successfully kit; additional discrepant results. agreement between two assays was 74.2% level. In conclusion, appears much more accurate than strains, especially in attending centres where distribution suggests frequent nosocomial transmissions.
