Hepatitis C virus and Epstein-Barr virus: dual infection or atypical antibody response. Gutiérrez Fernández, José Rodríguez-Iglesias, M. Positive serological reactions against hepatitis C virus (HCV) appeared in the course of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infectious mononucleosis. In 429 consecutive patients with high levels of transaminases, 28 patients with EBV primary infection were found. The presence of anti-HCV antibodies and HCV RNA was studied in these subjects. In seven patients anti-HCV antibodies (C33 and C22c RIBA bands) were detected, but all were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negative. These results may have been due solely to a HCV infection or were an atypical response to HCV in the course of infectious mononucleosis. 2024-05-07T07:28:42Z 2024-05-07T07:28:42Z 2000-02 journal article Gutiérrez J, Rodríguez-Iglesias M.
