The total forty five samples were tested for the presence of hepatitis G virus (HGV) positive (genomic) and negative (replicative) strand by RT-PCR. These samples were divided into three groups containing 15 each. Group I contained blood samples only, group II had blood samples along bone marrow samples of the same patients and group III contained different tissue samples collected from autopsy cases. In group I no sample was found out to be HGV positive while in group II 6.66 % samples were HGV positive and replicative strand was detected only in bone marrow tissue. In group III, 13.33 % samples were found to be HGV positive and in two positive samples of group III, replicative strand was detected in blood, bone marrow and spleen tissue. These results suggested that blood, bone marrow and spleen are the major replication sites of hepatitis G virus.
