Prevalence of hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV infection among hemodialysis patients in Jenin District (Palestine)

Background and Aims: End-stage renal disease patients treated by hemodialysis (HD) are more susceptible for infection by viral hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Infection by these viruses is promoted by the characteristic immunological dysfunction that develops in renal failure and interferes with the patient's ability to eliminate these viruses. Prevalence of these v...

Hepatitis B & hepatitis C in HIV-infection.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the three most common chronic viral infections seen in the world. All three viruses share modes of transmission and hence co-exist in the same host at significantly high rates. HIV-induced immunosuppression has deleterious effects on the natural history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, therapeutic responses...
