title: [Serological and molecular markers of HCV infection in Polish blood donors].
abstract: The algorithms of blood donor screening for HCV and verification of the results of screening tests are presented. Currently blood donors in Poland are tested for anti-HCV and those with no antibodies are screened using molecular biology methods for HCV RNA.
