Chronic Hepatitis C (HCV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. Renal transplantation confers a survival advantage in HCV-infected patients. Renal transplant candidates with serologic evidence of HCV infection should undergo a liver biopsy to assess for fibrosis and cirrhosis. Patients with Metavir fibrosis score ≤3 and compensated ...
Thirty three consecutive children with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) were studied during a four year period to evaluate clinical and histological features and the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV). All patients were asymptomatic. Thirteen (39%) of them were anti-HCV positive. A history of parenteral exposure was significantly more frequent among anti-HCV positive (69%) than anti-HCV nega...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common chronic blood-borne infectious disease in the United States.1,2 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 16,000 Americans were newly infected in 2009, and between 2.7 and 3.9 million community-dwelling people were living with chronic HCV infection.2 The primary goal of chronic HCV detection and treatment is to prevent complications...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major medical challenge affecting around 200 million people worldwide. The main site of HCV replication is the hepatocytes of the liver. HCV is a positive enveloped RNA virus from the flaviviridae family. Six major HCV genotypes are implicated in the human infection. In developed countries the children are infected mainly through vertical transmission duri...
With the aim of investigating whether interleukin 28B gene (IL28B) rs1297860 polymorphism is associated with different hepatitis C (HCV) infection statuses, we compared IL28B allelic distribution in an Italian case series of 1050 patients with chronic infection and different outcomes, 47 individuals who spontaneously cleared HCV, and 178 blood donors. Furthermore, we compared IL28B variants amo...
BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may be associated with many dermatologic manifestations. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dermatologic manifestations related to chronic HCV infection in Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS 70 patients with chronic HCV infection and 70 healthy volunteers were investigated. They were carefully questioned and skin, mucosa, h...
To determine whether there was a correlation between the kinetics or frequency of antibody to mammalian-derived hepatitis C virus (HCV) second envelope protein (E2) and development of chronicity or self-limitation of HCV infections, serial sera were examined for anti-E2, anti-HCV with confirmation with Matrix 2.0 (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL), and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain...
Studies on chronic viral hepatitis and mortality have often been made on selected populations or in high-endemic countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the causes of death and the mortality rates in the nationwide cohorts of people chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Sweden, a low-endemic country. All notifications on chronic HBV infe...
BACKGROUND Many studies have estimated the prevalence of anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody among hemodialysis (HD) patients; however, the prevalence of HCV core antigen-which indicates the presence of chronic HCV infection-is not known. METHODS Standardized prevalence ratios (SPRs) for anti-HCV antibody and HCV core antigen among HD patients (n = 1214) were calculated on the basis of data...
with an estimated 170 million infected individuals, hepatitis c virus (hcv) has a major impact on public health. frequency of hcv infection was studied in 785 referred patients to a private laboratory, tehran, iran from april 2003 until march 2006 by pcr method. analyzed results revealed infection rate was 40.27%, 35.51% and 33.09% in the first, second and third year, respectively. frequency ra...
