The HCV RNA quantification provides insight for treating and curing the HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) and HCC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma). This study deals with the molecular profiling of HCV RNA viral load and the molecular investigation of the HCV RNA genotypes. The distribution of various genotypes among the population is studied in this paper. Total 94 EDTA blood samples were taken from suspected HCV reactive patients from the different hospitals including OPDs and IPDs of in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. The RNA extraction was performed by the QIAamp Viral RNA mini kit (cat. no. 52904) and the HCV RNA quantification was performed by Rotor Gene Q 5 Plex Real Time PCR machine. The HCV genotypic characterization was performed by the Real Time PCR Technology utilizing Sansure (Korea) Biotech kit. Out of 94 samples collected for HCV RNA quantification, 44.7% (42 cases) were with target was not detected and 55.3%, i.e., 52 cases were with high viral load. HCV genotype 3 was found to be the most prevalent in 65.62% of the cases i.e. 21 cases in total. The presence of HCV genotype varies within the different geographical conditions because of the differences in the major causative factors. The HCV RNA viral load was quantified in 52 samples with high HCV RNA viral load and their titer values were observed in between the 34 IU/ml to 1.10×108 IU/ml and the other 42 samples were not considered for genotyping because of low viral load in them.

BACKGROUNDHepatitis C virus (HCV) is a parenterally transmitted hepatitis virus infecting approximately 3% of the world population. Chronic infection with HCV is one of the major causes of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. A high prevalence of HCV infection in haemodialysis patients has been reported. Aims and Objectives-To determine the prevalence of HCV by antibody testing among patients, with special reference to patients undergoing haemodialysis.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a chronic lifelong infection. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects more than 400 million people worldwide and is common cause of liver disease and liver cancer. In India, it is estimated that there are 40 million people chronically infected with HBV infection. The current study was conducted to estimate the burden of HBV infection in Bidar district of North Karnataka.The present study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences, Bidar. A Total 12,142 samples were tested by one step Immunochromatographic method for rapid detection of HBsAg to diagnose the infection.Among 12,142 samples tested, 284 samples were positive for HBsAg with prevalence rate of 2.34%. Age, gender and month wise distribution of infection was studied.This study highlights the prevalence and burden of HBV infection in Bidar district of North Karnataka. Which provide reference to future studies on the epidemiology of HBV infection in this region.
