39 Molecular methods : HBV DNA/HCV RNA quantification Because of their sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and broad dynamic range the use of real-time PCR quantification assay allow to adequately monitor viral kinetic and predict the risk of relapse In HCV treatment SVR is tantamount to cure Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significant of viremia levels below LOD

40 Molecular methods : HBV/HCV genotyping Genotype determination is needed in clinical practice to decide treatment The choice of the target genome region is crucial for HCV/HBV genotyping/subtyping Viral evolution represents a continuous challenge for scientists involved in molecular diagnosis of viral diseases. Comparative studies are useful means to improve the knowledge of genomic regions involved in genotype assignment and contribute to a better primer/probe. design
