Natural History of HCV Infection
An estimated 170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), including approximately 3 million in the United States. Hepatitis C virus disease accounts for approximately 10,000 deaths annually in this country, with this number expected to increase by 2or 3-fold by 2020. It is estimated that HCV coinfection is present in 30% (approximately 240,000) of the individuals with...
متن کاملPersistent γ-herpesvirus Infections
The human ␥-herpesviruses, EBV (or HHV-4) and Ka-posi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV-8) are oncogenic viruses that induce a readily controlled lytic infection followed by the establishment of lifelong latency. This quiescent state is maintained by the host immune system. In most cases the persistent infection is asymptomatic or accompanied by benign cellular proliferations. Howev...
متن کاملComparative Burkholderia pseudomallei natural history virulence studies using an aerosol murine model of infection
Melioidosis is an endemic disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Concerns exist regarding B. pseudomallei use as a potential bio-threat agent causing persistent infections and typically manifesting as severe pneumonia capable of causing fatal bacteremia. Development of suitable therapeutics against melioidosis is complicated due to high degree of genetic and phenotypic varia...
متن کامل[Natural history of hepatitis C virus infection].
Over 70% of individuals acutely infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop chronic infection at significant risk of progressive liver fibrosis and subsequent liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Various viral, host, and environmental factors have been reported to affect the natural history of HCV infection such as chronicity in acute phase and disease progression in chronic phase. R...
متن کاملNatural history of HIV-1 infection.
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) results in progressive loss of immune function marked by depletion of the CD4+ T-lymphocytes, leading to opportunistic infections and malignancies characteristic of AIDS. Although both host and viral determinants influence the rate of disease progression, the median time from initial infection to the development of AIDS among untrea...
