High prevalence of hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection in renal transplantation.
INTRODUCTION The newly discovered (1995) hepatitis G virus (HGV) is an RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family with 85% genomic homology to GB virus C (GBV-C). We studied the prevalence of HGV infection among a cohort of 398 renal transplant recipients (RTR), all of whom had previously received blood transfusions, been grafted between August 1984 and December 1991, and been treated by cyclospori...

متن کاملLiver histology in co-infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis G virus (HGV).
As little is known about liver histology in the co-infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis G virus (HGV), HGV RNA was investigated in 46 blood donors with hepatitis C, 22 of them with liver biopsy: co-infection HCV / HGV (n = 6) and HCV isolated infection (n = 16). Besides staging and grading of inflammation at portal, peri-portal and lobular areas (Brazilian Consensus), the fibrosis...
متن کاملDetection of hepatitis G virus (HGV) RNA: clinical characteristics of acute HGV infection.
The role of hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection in acute non-A-E hepatitis was investigated in adults with viral hepatitis. HGV RNA was present in 1 of 28 patients with non-A-E hepatitis but 9 of 22 with hepatitis C (P < .003). HGV RNA-positive patients (HGV-infected and HGV-hepatitis C virus [HCV]-coinfected) developed light-to-moderate jaundice. Clinical and biochemical features of HGV-positive...
متن کاملPrevalence of and risk factors for hepatitis G (HGV) infection in haemodialysis patients: a multicentre study.
BACKGROUND Hepatitis G virus (HGV) or GB-virus type C (GBV-C) is, like hepatitis C, a blood-borne virus and a member of the family of flaviviridae. HGV is distributed globally and is present in the volunteer blood donor population. Thus, for epidemiological reasons, HGV is of interest in haemodialysis patients, who are at risk of parenterally transmitted infections. The aim of the present inves...
