Hepatitis G virus, or GB virus type C, is a recently discovered RNA virus, remotely related to hepatitis C virus. The infection is frequently found, and seems to be blood-borne, occurring among intravenous drug abusers and transmitted from mother to child. Although long-term viraemia is common, in most cases the infection resolves spontaneously. Whether the viral infection causes liver disease or has other manifestations remains unknown.
庚型肝炎病毒，即丙型GB病毒，是一种最近发现的RNA病毒，与丙型肝炎病毒有较远的亲缘关系。这种感染很常见，似乎是通过血液传播的，在静脉注射吸毒者中出现，并可母婴传播。虽然长期病毒血症很常见，但在大多数情况下，感染会自发消退。病毒感染是否会导致肝病或有其他表现仍不清楚。
