Serological response to hepatitis E virus genotype 3 infection: IgG quantitation, avidity, and IgM response

Hepatitis E Virus Genotype 3 Diversity, France

We characterized 42 hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 strains from infected patients in France in 3 parts of the genome and sequenced the full-length HEV genotype 3f genome found in Europe. These strains are closely related to swine strains in Europe, which suggests zoonotic transmission of HEV in France.

Serological Response to Hepatitis Delta

do not know whether it is due to the effects of toxic compounds or whether it is a genetic association. Whether dietary manipulation will affect the development of obstructive cardiomyopathy remains to be seen; if it does, diagnosis would need to be made early in life. Whatever the aetiology of the cardiomyopathy, the association with tyrosinaemia suggests that caution should be expressed in co...

Predictors of sustained virological response in patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 3 infection

AIM OF THE STUDY To assess predictors of sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 treated with standard therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated data of 116 consecutive treatment-naïve patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 3, treated with pegylated interferon alpha (PegIFNα) and ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks...

Serological IgG avidity test for ocular toxoplasmosis

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunoglobulin (Ig) G avidity of serological toxoplasmosis testing in patients with ocular inflammation and to determine the clinical manifestations of ocular toxoplasmosis. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients presenting with ocular inflammation to the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia between 2005 and 20...
