Detection and Characterization of Human Pegivirus 2, Vietnam.
Abstract
We report human pegivirus 2 (HPgV-2) infection in Vietnam. We detected HPgV-2 in some
patients with hepatitis C virus/HIV co-infection but not in patients with HIV or hepatitis
A, B, or C virus infection, nor in healthy controls. HPgV-2 strains in Vietnam are
phylogenetically related to global strains.
