COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Hepatitis C virus RNA detection by in situ RT-PCR in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue. Comparison with serum and tissue results.
The purpose of this study was to localize HCV RNA in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver biopsies of 15 patients with chronic hepatitis C using in situ RT-PCR method. The results were compared to serum and tissue extract analysis of HCV RNA. HCV RNA was detected in 80% of the sera tested, in 40% of the corresponding hepatic tissue extract and in 60% of the tissue sections tested by in situ RT-PCR. Compared to the serum positive cases, 67% of the cases were positive with in situ RT-PCR and 41% were positive with tissue extract detection. 50% of the cases in situ RT-PCR positive were also positive with tissue extract detection. These results underlined the complementarity of the different methods of viral detection for the precise diagnosis of hepatitis C.
