Nucleotide sequence diversity of hypervariable region 1 of hepatitis C virus in Japanese hemophiliacs with chronic hepatitis C and patients with chronic posttransfusion hepatitis C.
Hemophiliac patients with chronic hepatitis C might be exposed to and become infected with multiple hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains by means of frequent use of blood products, even if they are infected with a single subtype of HCV. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the genetic diversity of hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of HCV in chronically infected hemophiliacs and in patients with chronic ...
متن کاملUpdate on chronic hepatitis C in hemophiliacs.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients affected by hereditary bleeding disorders and treated with non-virus inactivated clotting factor concentrates during the 1970s. INFORMATION SOURCES In this review, we briefly report the present knowledge about HCV infection in hemophilic patients. The natural course of hepa...
متن کاملHistory of posttransfusion hepatitis.
The risk of hepatitis virus transmission from tranfusions has declined dramatically from that of the 1940s when posttransfusion hepatitis (PTH) was first appreciated. Introduction of hepatitis B surface antigen screening and conversion to volunteer donors for whole-blood donations in the late 1960s and early 1970s led to substantial reduction in PTH cases. However, up to 10% of the recipients c...
متن کاملHepatitis Viruses Seromarkers and Liver Function inGuilan Hemophiliacs
Abstract There are some reports about hepatitis B and C Virus infection in hemophiliacs in different part of our country. We studied Guilan Province hemophiliacs to determine the frequency of hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), anti hepatitis C antibody and liver function test impairments. This study was done from Feb to Apr 1999 among hemophiliacs registered in Guilan Hemophilia Society. Pat...
متن کاملSerum hepatitis C virus sequences in posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis.
We investigated 17 patients (12 males and 5 females, ages 2 to 57 years old) with posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis to determine relationships between clinical courses and hepatitis C virus (HCV) markers. The patients were grouped according to time course of abnormal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels into three categories (chronic biochemical disease, biochemically resolved chron...
