- Abstract
Recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplantation is a clinical problem. Polyclonal immunoglobulins against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBIGs) prevent the recurrence of HBV infection, but no effective prophylaxis is available for HCV infection. Before screening of blood donors was introduced in France, HBIGs may have contained antibody to HCV (anti-HCV).
