RNA of a putative non-A to E hepatitis virus, designated GB virus C (GBV-C), was detected in 40 (6.2%) of 645 hemodialysis patients, at a frequency significantly higher than in 3 (0.9%) of 336 blood donors in Japan (p<0.001).
A history of transfusion was more frequent (88 vs. 58%, p<0.001), the duration of dialysis was longer (13.2 ± 7.9 vs. 7.9 ± 6.5 years, p<0.001), and the detection of hepatitis C virus RNA was more often (38 vs. 18%, p<0.01) in the 40 patients with GBV-C RNA than in the 605 patients without it.
The prevalence of GBV-C RNA varied widely from 0 to 10% among the 8 dialysis centers.
These results indicate that hemodialysis patients would be at increased risk of GBV-C transmitted by transfusions.
The detection of GBV-C RNA in the 5 patients without a history of transfusion and a high prevalence restricted to certain dialysis centers would reflect nosocomial infection.
