TL;DR: Assays of ten blood transfusions in the United States that resulted in chronic NANBH revealed that there was at least one positive blood donor in nine of these cases and that all ten recipients seroconverted during their illnesses.

TL;DR: The prevalence of GBV‐C RNA in human sera was studied using reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) and found that the prevalence is higher among volunteer blood donors with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels than among volunteerBlood donors with normal ALT levels.

TL;DR: Two monoclonal antibodies to early and late AD-169 strain of cytomegalovirus antigens were prepared by fusing mouse spleen cells with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells and produced dense immunofluorescence with prominent lobular staining within the nucleus of CMV-infected substrate cells.

TL;DR: To assess the optimal timing, the necessary sensitivity, and the possible efficacy of bacterial detection, the bacterial growth characteristics were reviewed in 165 platelet units inoculated on the day of collection with one of the following organisms.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the majority of recurrent infections represent reactivation of existing latent viruses; however, reinfections by a new virus strain do occur occasionally and the latent virus in women is relatively stable genetically.
