Hepatic Pseudolymphoma with an Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection
A 49-year-old woman who was asymptomatic was found to have a small liver tumor on abdominal ultrasonography (US) at her annual health checkup. US revealed a hypoechoic, solid, mass measuring 17-mm in size in segment 6. The tumor markers associated with liver malignancy were negative. An infectious disease screen was negative for hepatitis B surface antigen, but positive for antibody to hepatiti...
متن کاملWhen T-helper cells don't help: immunopathology during concomitant infection.
Disease directly caused by immune system action is known as immunopathology. Many factors may lead the immune system to cause rather than cure disease, and autoimmune, allergic, and infection-related immunopathological diseases affect millions of people worldwide. This review presents an analysis of T-helper cell mediated, infection-related immunopathology within the framework of evolutionary e...
متن کاملImmunopathology of Schistosoma mansoni infection.
Schistosomiasis mansoni is a chronic helminthic disease that affects about 100 million people in the tropics. The worms have a life span of 5 to 10 years, and they live in the mesenteric veins of the host. Lightly infected individuals are asymptomatic or manifest mild intestinal symptoms. Heavily infected individuals often develop severe morbidity with hepatosplenomegaly, sometimes with a fatal...
متن کاملMetabolic Dysregulation in Hepacivirus Infection of Common Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Chronic hepatitis C has been associated with metabolic syndrome that includes insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis and obesity. These metabolic aberrations are risk factors for disease severity and treatment outcome in infected patients. Experimental infection of marmosets with GBV-B serves as a tangible, small animal model for human HCV infection, and while virology and pathology are well des...
متن کاملHepacivirus Infection in Domestic Horses, Brazil, 2011–2013
To the Editor: An estimated ≈150 million persons (3% of the world population) are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). This virus is the prototype of the genus Hepacivi-rus and a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma around the world. Every year, 3–4 million persons become infected with HCV, and ≈350,000 die of this infection (1). Development of an HCV vaccin...
