Presence of lower temperature-dependent antibody with low avidity to C100-3 (HCV) antigen in voluntary blood donors.
Serum samples with lower temperature-dependent antibody with low avidity to C100-3 (HCV) antigen were found in 0.19% of 23,197 voluntary blood donors at this blood center. They showed positive C100-3 antibody activity at 24 C but not at 37 C. The antibody activity bound to C100-3 antigen at lower temperature disappeared after incubation for 60 min at 37 C or treatment with 8 M urea. Other marke...
متن کاملScreening for HCV infection in jails.
JAILS ARE AN IDEAL SETTING FOR ROUTINE HEPATITIS C virus (HCV) screening. At the turn of this century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 16% to 41% of US inmates had serological evidence of prior HCV exposure and 12% to 35% had chronic infection. This high prevalence of hepatitis C, coupled with the fact that more than 7 million individuals passed through jails and p...
متن کاملRapid diagnostic HCV antibody assays.
Approximately 4.1 million Americans have been infected with HCV and 45-85% of chronically infected persons are unaware of their status. Rapid anti-HCV assays can assist and expedite the identification of those unaware of their infection. Performance characteristics of pre-market rapid anti-HCV assays (Chembio, MedMira and OraSure) have been evaluated. Their sensitivity (78.9-99.3%) and specific...
متن کاملChallenging clinical cases in HCV infection
We present clinical cases, which underline some difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Case report #1 shows a patient who avoided clinical follow-up for HCV until the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this patient, non-invasive procedures did not allow to make a differential diagnosis between hydatidosis and hepatocellular carcinoma but diagnosis...
