dc.description.abstractA serotyping assay for hepatitis C virus (HCV) was evaluated with samples from Thailand, where the distribution of HCV genotypes was different from that in Western countries where the assay was designed and validated. The sensitivity of the assay was low (58%) for HCV RNA-positive samples compared to that of the genotyping assay (95%, P < 0.01). In addition, only 36% of anti-HCV-positive but HCV RNA-negative samples could be serotyped. The serotypes and genotypes were identical in 96% of the samples that could be typed by both methods. Most of the samples with genotype 6, which was common in Southeast Asia, were nontypeable by this serotyping assay.en_US
