TI Agents causing non-A non-B hepatitis: could one be a prion?

QU Medical Hypotheses 1987 Mar; 22(3): 329-33

PT journal article

AB Non-A non-B hepatitis is caused by an unknown infectious agent or agents, and can be transmitted by blood or products derived from blood. Laboratory and clinical data demonstrate that procedures which inactivate the AIDS virus are not sufficient to prevent non-A non-B hepatitis transmission. The possibility is suggested that at least one of the putative non-A non-B hepatitis agents might be a unique infectious agent such as a prion.
