Detection and significance of HCV RNA in saliva, seminal
fluid and vaginal discharge in patients with hepatitis C
Abstract:
To investigate the transmission of HCV infection through family
contact, we detected HCV RNS in body fluids (saliva, seminal and
vaginal discharge) of 16 serum HCV RNA positive patients (including
7 men and 9 women) and in sera of their family members. The
positive rates of HCV RNA in the body fluids were 31.25% (5/16) in
saliva, 57.14% (4/17) in seminal fluid and 22.22% (2/9) in vaginal
discharge, respectively. Among the family members in our series,
all were negative for both anti-HCV and HCV RNA, despite two
spouses positive for HCV RNA. This result strongly suggested the
potential possibility of the transmission of HCV infection through
the family contact.=20
