Modulation of HCV replication after combination antiretroviral therapy in HCV/HIV co-infected patients.
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients co-infected with HIV. Co-infection results in increased HCV replication and more rapid rates of liver disease progression. The effect of HIV combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) on HCV replication has not been studied in depth. To address this issue, we enrolled a small cohort of HCV/HIV co-infec...
متن کاملA Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of HIV-1/HCV in Co-Infected Patients
Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...
متن کاملHCV core antigen and HCV-RNA in HIV/HCV co-infected patients with different HCV genotypes
BACKGROUND A good correlation between HCV core antigen (HCVAg) and different HCV-RNA assays has been described, but little data are available in HCV/HIV co-infection. We aimed to evaluate HCVAg in comparison with HCV-RNA and to determine their kinetics during antiviral treatment in selected HCV/HIV co-infected patients. METHODS 355 samples from 286 HCV/HIV co-infected subjects for whom HCV-RN...
متن کاملSuperior outcomes in HIV-positive kidney transplant patients compared to HCV-infected or HIV/HCV co-infected recipients
The prerequisite for an 'undetectable' HIV viral load has restricted access to transplantation for HIV-infected kidney recipients. However, HCV-infected recipients, owing to the historic limitations of HCV therapy in patients with renal disease, are commonly viremic at transplant and have universal access. To compare the effect of HIV, HCV, and HIV/HCV coinfection on kidney transplant patient a...
متن کاملGerman cohort of HCV mono-infected and HCV/HIV co-infected patients reveals relative under-treatment of co-infected patients
BACKGROUND Current German and European HIV guidelines recommend early evaluation of HCV treatment in all HIV/HCV co-infected patients. However, there are still considerable barriers to initiate HCV therapy in everyday clinical practice. This study evaluates baseline characteristics, "intention-to-treat" pattern and outcome of therapy of HCV/HIV co-infected patients in direct comparison to HCV m...
