The "genotype" of HCV with which a patient is infected is an important determinant for all individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). This is the strain of the virus to which they were exposed when they were infected, which can be confirmed by a simple blood test. Using LightCycler technology, a new fast PCR-based HCV genotyping method was created.
