Diagnosis of non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) is made after exclusion of other known causes of hepatitis. Parenterally spread non-a, non-B hepatitis (PNANB) and enterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis (ENANB) almost certainly appear to be two different diseases. The definite causative agents have not hitherto been identified. Much of our knowledge of NANB is based on (i) experimental studies ...

1 Dodecanissou Street, Athens 12351, Greece. Abstract To assess the safety and possible efficacy of recombinant human interferon alfa-2b in preventing the development of chronic hepatitis, 24 adults (eight men, 16 women) with acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis were recruited to a pilot study. Half of the cases were parenterally transmitted and half were community acquired. Twelve patients rece...

The concept that human viral hepatitis was caused by no more than two etiologic agents stemmed from early volunteer studies in which two epidemiologically distinct types of hepatitis were transmitted to humans (1). These experimentally transmitted diseases closely resembled two forms of naturally occurring viral hepatitis that could be distinguished on epidemiologic grounds. One form was highly...

non-hodgkin lymphoma usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, but it can also involve any part of the human body. lymphomatous involvement of muscles is a rare presentation and has been reported to occur in only 1.1% in non-hodgkin lymphoma. here we, present a 32 year-old iranian man with primary involvement of spleen, bone, bone marrow and muscle, mimicking soft tissue sarcoma; core ...

lymphomas are solid tumors of immune system and non-hodgkin lymphomas (nhl) is the most prevalent lymphomas; with wide ranges of histological and clinical features, it is so difficult to identify them. herein, various bioinformatics tools (such as gene differential expressions, epigenetics and protein analysis) employed to find new treatment approach for nhl based on gene expression variation b...

background: various infectious agents like ebstein barr virus (ebv), htlv-1 and helicobacter pylori have known as etiologic factors in different sub-types of lymphoma. although hepatitis c virus (hcv) has not only been important for its hepatotropism and hepatitis development, but also in recent years its association with some forms of non- hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl), especially b cell nhl, has r...
