Disseminated cryptococcosis and hepatitis C virus infection: A fatal co-infection

HIV and hepatitis C virus co-infection.

Some reports have suggested that drug-induced hepatotoxicity can be associated with antiretroviral therapy in HIV-positive people coinfected with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). Several presentations at the 38th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) examined this possible interaction. The impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on persons coinf...

Co-Infection with Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus

Hepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors

Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...

Hepatitis B Hepatitis C virus and Malaria co- infection

Background: Malaria remains a major health threat worldwide. Endemic regions for malaria are endemic for other infectious diseases that might affect the malaria infection. Methods: A systematic search was conducted where it included published data about HBV, HCV and malaria. Published data on epidemiology, pathogenesis and consequences of HBV, HCV and malaria, were extracted from relevant studi...

Human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus co-infection.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide, as well as the leading cause of liver transplantations in the United States. As a result of similar modes of transmission, approximately 30% of HIV-infected individuals are co-infected with HCV. Among intravenous drug users, almost 90% of people infected with HIV are also infected with HC...
