Transfusion-associated Hepatitis E, France
Systematic molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from Spain. To the Editor: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a leading cause of acute and fulminant hepatitis in developing countries (1). In industrialized countries , HEV seroprevalence rates of 0.4%–3% are common, and evidence is mounting that autochthonous transmission might account for a subst...
متن کاملSeroepidemiological and ecological studies of the adenovirus-associated satellite viruses.
The seroepidemiology of the defective adenovirus-associated satellite viruses was studied by use of a neutralization test that has been shown to be much more sensitive than the complement-fixation (CF) test. Less than 25% of the subjects in any age group were positive for any type of satellite virus CF antibody. The neutralization test revealed serological evidence of satellite infection in alm...
متن کاملTRANSFUSION MEDICINE Age at infection affects the long-term outcome of transfusion-associated chronic hepatitis C
Before the introduction of hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening for blood donors, the risk of acquiring HCV infection as a result of a transfusion was about 10%. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and rate of progression to cirrhosis in patients with transfusion-associated chronic HCV infection and identify possibly negative prognostic factors. Of 2477 consecutive patients with clin...
متن کاملAutochthonous hepatitis e virus infections: a new transfusion-associated risk?
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been recognized since 2004 as a transfusion-transmissible infectious agent, and recent epidemiological data suggest that it may pose a safety threat to the blood supply. It has recently become obvious that hepatitis E is endemic in industrialized countries, and that more infections are autochthonous than travel-associated. Epidemiological and phylogenetic analysis su...
متن کاملTransfusion-Associated Non-A, Non-B Hepatitis: The First Decade
Despite over a decade of intensive investigation, non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) remains an etiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic dilemma. At issue are the nature of the causative agent, the clinical significance of the disease and the methods for detection, interven tion and prevention. This brief review will focus on only selected aspects of this dilemma and concentrate primarily on the kno...
