It was first described in the 1950s by term of chronic active hepatitis. It has 2 types with different auto antibodies. Diagnosis is based upon serologic and ...
متن کاملAntimitochondrial antibody serocoversion post-liver transplant during hepatitis C treatment with peginterferon α, ribavirin and telaprevir.
Pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFN α), a key component of chronic hepatitis C therapy, has been linked to the development of auto-antibodies and autoimmune disease. We report the first case of antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) seroconversion during PEG-INF α based therapy after liver.1-4 transplantation. A fiftyseven year-old man five months after liver transplantation was initiated on hepatiti...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus RNA and anti-N14 antibody levels during interferon alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis C.
To investigate the markers useful for evaluating the long-term efficacy of interferon (IFN) therapy, the quantity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and two anti-HCV antibody titers (anti-N14 and anti-C-100-3 antibody) in 21 chronic hepatitis C patients were determined. In all complete responders, a sustained clearance of the virus and reductions in the anti-HCV antibody titers were observed during...
متن کاملTwo cases of porphyria cutanea tarda associated with chronic hepatitis positive for the antibody against hepatitis C virus.
We report two cases of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) positive for the antibody against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). The serological and histological examinations revealed that they were persistently infected with HCV and were suffering from liver disease compatible with chronic viral hepatitis. It is suggested that one of the factors which contribute to liver damage of patients with PCT may be...
متن کاملEvaluation of the need for treatment on 72 subjects with anti-HBe positive chronic hepatitis B
Background: Viral load and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels may not be the key points for making a decision in the treatment of anti-HBe positive chronic hepatitis B. The purpose of this study was to assess the histological evaluation of liver to find the need for treatment on 72 patients with anti-HBe positive chronic hepatitis B. Methods: The liver biopsy slides of the 72 patients (56 s...
