ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship of hepatitis C virus (HCV) serotype with genotype.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The serotypes of HCV in the serum of 104 patients with chronic hepatitis C from 14 cities in China for which HCV genotypes were available, were determined by ELISA using Murex HCV Serotyping 1-6 Assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The serotypes of 86 (82.69 percent) of the 104 serum specimens were determined, and HCV serotypes were determined for 91 strains. Overall the concordance between hepatitis C virus serotype and genotype was 62.1 percent, and the concordance of serotype, with genotypes 1, 2 and 3 were 69.4 percent, 51.2 percent and 70.0 percent, respectively. The false-negative rate and concordance of genotype 2b was lower (54.5 percent).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The specificity of HCV serotyping was affected by HCV strains' genotype and sometimes HCV serotype was not in concordance with genotype.</p>
