TT virus in bone marrow transplant recipients.
TT virus (TTV) is a newly discovered transfusion-transmissible DNA virus, which may cause posttransfusion hepatitis. The virus was detected in 12% of Japanese blood donors. The aim of the study is to investigate the prevalence and clinical influence of TTV in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. Sera from 25 BMT recipients obtained 6 to 12 weeks after the transplant were examined for TTV-DN...
متن کامل[Susceptibility of TT virus to interferon therapy].
A novel single stranded DNA virus, TT virus, associated with posttransfusion hepatitis was identified. The impact of the virus on development of chronic liver diseases and the susceptibility of the virus to interferon therapy has not been investigated. We retrospectively analyzed blood samples from 16 patients infected with both hepatitis C virus and TT virus who were treated by interferon. TT ...
متن کاملNOTE Virology TT Virus Infection in Gibbons
TT virus (TTV) is not only an infectious agent of worldwide distribution but has also been demonstrated in various non-human primates in addition to humans. In the present study, we subjected the sera of 67 gibbons to PCR and nucleotide sequencing, with subsequent phylogenetic analysis to determine the nature of the relationship between TTV found in humans and non-human primates. We discovered ...
متن کاملTT virus hepatitis with extrahepatic and hepatic manifestations - case report
Background TT virus (TTV) hepatitis is an infectious disease which can have both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations, and it is transmitted prevalently parenterally, and rarely by enteral way. The prevalence of TTV in donors in the USA is 1%, from 1.9-10% in Great Britain, in Japan 12%, in Thailand 7-30%, in Russia 10-20%, and in Brazil 62%. In patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis, the TTV w...
متن کاملSequence heterogeneity of TT virus and closely related viruses.
TT virus (TTV) is a recently discovered infectious agent originally obtained from transfusion-related hepatitis. However, the causative link between the TTV infection and liver disease remains uncertain. Recent studies demonstrated that genome sequences of different TTV strains are significantly divergent. To assess genetic heterogeneity of the TTV genome in more detail, a sequence analysis of ...
