The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is frequently associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC), and a number of authors have reported the presence of anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA in the blood of MC patients. The presence of the HCV genome in the blood cells of individuals infected by HCV may correlate with the etiopathology of MC. We investigated the presence of HCV-related sequences in the sera, cryoglobulins and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with MC and of individuals with type C chronic active hepatitis (CAH).

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is frequently associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC), and a number of authors have reported the presence of anti-HCV antibodies and HCV-RNA in the blood of MC patients. The presence of the HCV genome in the blood cells of individuals infected by HCV may correlate with the etiopathology of MC. We investigated the presence of HCV-related sequences in the sera, cryoglobulins and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with MC and of individuals with type C chronic active hepatitis (CAH).Pubblicazioni consigliate
