Abstract

Background: Torque Teno Virus (TTV) is a newly discovered non- enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus of high genotypic variability, frequently detected in patients with acute or chronic hepatitis with non A-G etiology.

Objective: This study was carried out to look for the presence of TTV among HIV seropositive patients in Khartoum State, Sudan using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.

Methods: A total of 44 blood samples from HIV positive patients were tested for the presence of TTV DNA by polymer as chain reaction (PCR) using primers from UN translated (UTR) region.

Results: During the study period, 44 HIV positive patients (16male and 28female) were enrolled. Out of these TTV viri was detected in 10(22.7%) HIV positive samples.

Conclusion: The rate of TTV infection among Sudanese HIV patients was (22 %( 10/44).
