Evaluation of a third generation anti-HCV assay in predicting viremia in patients with positive HCV antibodies

The most practical screening test for hepatitis C virus antibodies are second and third-generation enzyme immunoassays. We evaluated the usefulness of the third generation microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) in predicting HCV viraemia in anti-HCV positive patients. Serum samples from 106 patient...
