Significance of Occult Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Liver Transplant Patients With Cryptogenic Cirrhosis.
CONCLUSIONS: A finding of hepatitis C virus RNA in liver tissue samples of transplant recipients presents the historical possibility of occult hepatitis C virus infection as underlying disease in our patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis. Results present an important and determinative role of occult hepatitis C virus infection in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic cirrhosis, which needs further confirmation in additional studies.
