Using PCR and genomic sequencing, we confirmed the presence of and homology
between hepatitis G virus (HGV) (also called GB virus C) RNA in six serum
samples and that in two saliva samples obtained from 34 patients with
chronic hepatitis C virus infections. Thus, HGV may be found outside the
circulatory system.
