title: Simultaneous amplification of DNA and RNA virus using multiplex PCR system.
abstract: A large number of disease-causing bacteria and viruses are being sequenced and PCR is increasingly used for the diagnosis of the diseases. We have designed a multiplex PCR system for hepatitis B virus (HBV), a DNA virus, and hepatitis E virus (HEV), an RNA virus. A modified technique has been standardized for simultaneous extraction of DNA and RNA, followed by a one-step RT-PCR/PCR.
