[Study on hepatitis G virus infection in 63 posttransfusion patients with hematological diseases].
OBJECTIVE
To study the hepatitis G virus(HGV) infection in posttransfusion patients.


METHODS
HGV RNA and HCV RNA were detected by RT-PCR, and anti-HGV and HBsAg were assayed by ELISA in 63 posttransfusion patients with blood diseases.


RESULTS
The positive rates of HGV RNA, HCV RNA and anti-HGV were 7.9%, 46.0% and 6.3%, respectively. HGV infection was usually accompanied by HCV infection and elevation of ALT.


CONCLUSIONS
HGV as well as HCV may transmitted by blood transfusion.
