ABSTRACT
The authors demonstrate the HCV nucleic acid amplification method is not wide-spread in Hungary yet. The HCV-RNA is usually detectable 2-4 weeks after infection independently the immunostate of the patients. The authors help to select the adequate measurement(s) in logical order when HCV infection is suspected. The benefit of the PCR method is emphasized. Monitoring of the HCV-RNA titer of the liver transplanted patients promotes to establish the fluctuation of HCV-RNA copies and the effectivity of therapy following transplantation. The detection of HCV-RNA by PCR method is a proof of an acute or chronic infection and rules out past infection. The quantitative PCR measurement is useful for determination of indication and control of efficacy of antiviral therapy.
