Summary:HCV infection is of global concern with the characteristic of insidious onset. Laboratory testing stands indispensably for clinical diagnosis with antibody assay and nucleic acid testing the main methods being adopted. For early detection and diagnosis of HCV infection, it is important to choose the best detection method and diagnostic strategy. This paper reviews the HCV nucleic acid testing methods, as well as performance evaluation of reagents and current strategies.
