title: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) serotype in the asymptomatic HCV-infected patients from selected groups.
abstract: In asymptomatic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected blood donors and persons from high risk groups (intravenous drug users and hemodialyzed patients) HCV serotypes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 have been detected. The most frequent was serotype 1. In the group of intravenous drug users (IDU) a coexistence of different serotypes was observed.
