1060. Evaluation of ALT at Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) in Patients with Treated Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection

The Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran

Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...

Hepatitis C Virus Late Relapse after Sustained Virologic Response

24 Hepatitis C (HCV) viremia is unusual (<5%) after successful treatment, defined as sustained 25 virologic response (SVR) or undetectable HCV PCR 12-24 weeks after therapy. We present a 26 case of late virologic relapse (de novo infection excluded by RNA sequencing) after SVR 27 followed by spontaneous viral clearance. 28

Risk Factors for Hepatitis C Virus Reinfection After Sustained Virologic Response in Patients Coinfected With HIV

Background Highly effective hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies have spurred a scale-up of treatment to populations at greater risk of reinfection after sustained virologic response (SVR). Reinfection may be higher in HIV-HCV coinfection, but prior studies have considered small selected populations. We assessed risk factors for reinfection after SVR in a representative cohort of Canadian coinfect...

IL-21 as a Predictor of Sustained Virologic Response in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a significant public health problem. The crucial role of interleukin (IL)-21 in HCV has been established. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association of serum IL-21 levels with the virological response to interferon (IFN)-based therapy in a group of Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Clinical data were collected from 58 HCV-positive Egyptian...
