Mixed Genotype Hepatitis C Infections and Implications for Treatment
The recently licensed direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) boceprevir and telaprevir used to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection act in a genotype-specific manner. The potential outcome of DAA treatment regimes on mixed HCV infections, consisting of concurrent infection with more than one HCV genotype, has not been considered. Standard genotyping methods are only capable of identifying the domin...

were positive for HCoV 229E and infl uenza A virus. In this study, we simultaneously analyzed tissue specimens of paranasal sinuses and nasal polyps, as well as nasal swabs and blood samples, for a broad panel of viruses and atypical bacteria. To avoid seasonal bias, specimens were collected over a 1-year period and exclusively obtained from patients undergoing elective surgery in the absence o...
متن کاملWillingness to Receive Treatment for Hepatitis C among Injecting Drug Users on Methadone Program: Implications for Education and Treatment
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common among people who inject drugs (PWID) on methadone program in Iran (Persia). However, a few PWID on methadone program report willingness to receive HCV treatment. This study aimed to assess the factors which were associated with willingness to receive HCV treatment in a group of PWID on methadone program in Iran.Methods: We surveyed 187 PWID at seven...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus deep sequencing for sub-genotype identification in mixed infections: A real-life experience
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of the new generation of hepatitis C treatments named direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) depends on the genotype, subtype, and resistance-associated substitutions present in individual patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate a massive sequencing platform for the analysis of genotypes and subtypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in order to optimize therapy. ...
