“…A positivity rate of 7.7% was detected on patients on peritoneal dialysis, which was similar to that reported in local blood donors (Oliveira et al 2002). These patients are on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, a home therapy that reduces the risk for nosocomial transmission.…”

“…It can also be transmitted to hemophilia patients using factor VIII, parenteral drug users, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis and organ transplantation. This virus can lead to acute or chronic liver disease alone or it may co-exist as dual or triple infection (HGV and HCV or HGV, HCV and HBV) (Rafiq et al, 1999;Mibagheri, 1999;Ahmed et al, 2006Ahmed et al, , 2008Oliveira et al, 2002;Kumar et al, 2007;Alter et al, 1997aAlter et al, , 1997c (Reshetiyak, 2008;Ahmed et al, 2006Ahmed et al, , 2008Oliveira et al, 2002;Kumar et al, 2007;Alter et al, 1997a). HGV status from different studies ranged from a low prevalence of 0.9%−5.7%, to a medium prevalence of 5.8%−9.9%.…”

“…HBV and HCV are the most likely causes of viral hepatitis in Pakistan (Mujeeb, 1998;Chopra, 2010;Khokhar, 2002;Taylor et al, 2000). There is no vaccine available in the market against HCV (Rehman and Hafiz, 2000;Rafiq et al, 1999;Mibagheri, 1999;Ahmed et al, 2006Ahmed et al, , 2008Oliveira et al, 2002;Kumar et al, 2007;Alter et al, 1997aAlter et al, , 1997bMartinol et al, 1997a;Alter, 1996;Odeh et al, 2005;Ling et al, 1997;Simon et al, 1995;Moaven et al, 1998;Ather, 1997;Ramla and Al-Falehh, 1999;Praharaj et al, 2005;Forns et al, 1997;Noh et al, 1998;Hammad and Zaghloul, 2009;Nogueira et al, 2001;Tanka et al, 1998;Linnen et al, 1996;Tanaka et al, 1996a). HDV is a defective virus which needs the envelope of HBV to overcome its defect.…”
