Hepatitis C reinfection after sustained virological response.
BACKGROUND & AIMS On-going risk behaviour can lead to hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection following successful treatment. We aimed to assess the incidence of persistent HCV reinfection in a population of people who inject drugs (PWID) who had achieved sustained virological response (SVR) seven years earlier. METHODS In 2004-2006 we conducted a multicentre treatment trial comprising HCV genoty...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus reinfection among prisoners with sustained virological response after treatment for chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND & AIMS We estimated HCV reinfection rate and its associated risk factors in inmates with chronic hepatitis C who had achieved sustained virological response (SVR) after completing combination therapy while in prison. METHODS Individuals who had achieved an SVR after treatment provided from January 2003 to December 2009 at four prisons in Catalonia, had been tested annually for HCV ...
متن کاملSustained virological response is associated with clearance of hepatitis C virus RNA and a decrease in hepatitis C virus antibody
BACKGROUND/AIM Viral eradication in chronic hepatitis C patients with sustained virological response (SVR) after interferon (IFN) therapy remains controversial. METHODS During a long-term follow-up study, 157 patients with SVR to IFN-alpha-2b-based therapy were investigated with a transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) assay in serum. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody was assessed by m...
متن کاملRegression of esophageal varices during entecavir treatment in patients with hepatitis-B-virus-related liver cirrhosis
Recent studies suggest that liver cirrhosis is reversible after administering oral nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy to patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, few studies have addressed whether esophageal varices can regress after such therapy. We report a case of complete regression of esophageal varices during entecavir therapy in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis, sug...
متن کاملAnalysis of the sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C and liver steatosis.
CONTEXT Chronic hepatitis C as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are recognized as the main cause of liver disease in Western countries. It is common to see the concomitance of the diseases and the influence of steatosis in the sustained virological response of patients with hepatitis C virus. OBJECTIVE Assess the sustained virological response in chronic hepatitis C patients accordin...
