HCV core antigen and HCV-RNA in HIV/HCV co-infected patients with different HCV genotypes
BACKGROUND A good correlation between HCV core antigen (HCVAg) and different HCV-RNA assays has been described, but little data are available in HCV/HIV co-infection. We aimed to evaluate HCVAg in comparison with HCV-RNA and to determine their kinetics during antiviral treatment in selected HCV/HIV co-infected patients. METHODS 355 samples from 286 HCV/HIV co-infected subjects for whom HCV-RN...
متن کاملComparison of HCV core antigen and anti-HCV with HCV RNA results.
BACKGROUND The measurement of anti-HCV antibodies using immunological methods and the confirmation of viral nuclear acid based on molecular methods is important in diagnosis and follow-up of the HCV infection. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to analyse HCV core Antigen positivity among anti-HCV antibody positive sera to determine the significance of testing of HCV core Ag for the laborator...
متن کاملDistribution of HCV genotypes and HCV RNA viral load in different regions of Mexico.
BACKGROUND AND AIM To identify the geographic distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes and HCV RNA viral load in a large number of HCV-infected carriers in Mexico. METHODS Patients with chronic hepatitis C (n = 8,802) were studied to identify HCV genotype using an immune line probe assay in samples shown previously to be positive for viral RNA by an RT-PCR test. Baseline HCV RNA was ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of HCV core antigen and RNA quantification in HCV-infected and HCV/HIV-1-coinfected patients
BACKGROUND The measurement of hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV-coreAg) has been shown to be an indicator of active HCV infection. The aim of the present study was 1) to investigate the stability and effectiveness of HCV-coreAg and HCV-RNA quantification in HCV infection with or without HIV-1 coinfection, 2) to explore the association between the HCV-coreAg/HCV-RNA (Ag/RNA) ratio and the immu...
متن کاملComparison of Hcv Rna and Hcv Core Antigen in Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
Background: Anti-HCV test is currently used in the diagnosis of hepatitis C, while hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) is used in the determination of viral load. Recently developed hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV Ag) test is also used in the diagnosis of hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to compare HCV Ag and quantitative HCV RNA in terms of sensitivity and specificity as wel...
