Hepatitis C virus

Persons who experience homelessness remain at increased risk for three viral blood-borne infections: human immunodefciency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). We assessed the yield of testing and linkage to care programs targeting this population for these infections in the United States (US).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has high incidence and mortality worldwide. Local ablation using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) is potentially curative for early-stage HCC with outcomes comparable to surgical resection. We explored the influence of demographic, clinical, and laboratory factors on outcomes of HCC patients receiving ablation.

An unexpected recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) sometimes occurs in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) after treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). However, the characteristics of patients with HCC recurrence may differ depending on time after DAA treatment. We aimed to identify risk factors related to HCC recurrence according to time after DAA treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Africa. In Africa, the major causes of HCC include chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Knowledge of the changes in the incidence of viral hepatitis-associated HCC over time and the factors responsible for such changes is key in informing policies for the prevention of viral hepatitis-associated HCC in Africa.

Intra-host hepatitis C virus (HCV) populations are genetically heterogeneous and organized in subpopulations. With the exception of blood transfusions, transmission of HCV occurs via a small number of genetic variants, the effect of which is frequently described as a bottleneck.

Hepatitis C is a major public health problem in the United States and worldwide. Outbreaks of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections associated with unsafe injection practices, drug diversion, and other exposures to blood are difficult to detect and investigate. Effective HCV outbreak investigation requires comprehensive surveillance and robust case investigation. We previously developed and validated a methodology for the rapid and cost-effective identification of HCV transmission clusters.

Identification of acute or recent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections is important for detecting outbreaks and devising timely public health interventions for interruption of transmission. Epidemiological investigations and chemistry-based laboratory tests are 2 main approaches that are available for identification of acute HCV infection. However, owing to complexity, both approaches are not efficient.

Hepatitis C (HCV) and many other RNA viruses exist as rapidly mutating quasi-species populations in a single infected host. High throughput characterization of full genome, within-host variants is still not possible despite advances in next generation sequencing.

Thalassemia is one of commonest hereditary disease worldwide, prevalent in humid climates and affects all races. The Transfusion Dependent Thalassemias require regular blood transfusion to survive. The thalassemia patients require lifelong blood transfusion on regular basis- usually administered every 2 to 5 weeks. Due to regular blood transfusion, transfusion transmitted disease e.g. Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections can occur.

Since its discovery in 1989, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has become a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide with 14.7% prevalence in Egypt. There is increasing body of evidence that chronic HCV infection is usually associated with several extrahepatic manifestations. Several studies have shed light on the association of autoimmune thyroiditis (ATD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) with chronic HCV infection as both are considered to be one of the most common organ specific autoimmune disease frequently occur together.

HCV is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since, HCV is transmitted through blood and blood products prevalence of anti-HCV among Hemodialysis (HD) patients is consistently higher among them. Factors such as blood transfusion and frequent parenteral interventions have been shown to be associated with increased risk of HCV infection.

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a global health threat with 175 million carriers worldwide. Approximately 3% of the worldwide population is infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is a term that includes a wide spectrum of pathologies ranging from a minor expansion of a B-cell population (with no clinical significance) to an aggressive high-grade lymphoma. Such proliferations of B cells apparently can be triggered as a consequence of a chronic antigenic stimulation resulting from an HCV infection.

Cryptogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is thought to arise due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study investigated the prevalence, clinical features, and outcomes of cryptogenic HCC and compared them with those of HCC related to hepatitis B virus infection (HBV-HCC), hepatitis C virus infection (HCV-HCC), and alcohol (ALC-HCC) in Korea.
