Negligible risks of hepatocellular carcinoma during biomarker-defined immune-tolerant phase for patients with chronic hepatitis B [PDF]
Background/Aims The immune-tolerant (IT) phase of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is not generally indicative of antiviral therapy (AVT). We assessed and compared the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during the IT-phase stringently defined by a ...

Progress with antiviral agents [PDF]
It is perhaps pretentious to employ the current popular term ‘antiviral chemotherapy’ when only three classes of compounds are officially approved for limited clinical application: N-methylisatin3i adamantamine, for prophylaxis in humans subject to influenza A-2 virus infections [2,3] ; and 5iodo-2’-deoxyuridine (IUdR) for therapy of herpes simplex ...

The evaluation of liver fibrosis regression in chronic hepatitis C patients after the treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents – A review of the literature [PDF]
The second-generation of direct-acting antiviral agents are the current treatment for chronic viral hepatitis C infection. To evaluate the regression of liver fibrosis in patients receiving this therapy, liver biopsy remains the most accurate method, but

Polysaccharides as antiviral agents: antiviral activity of carrageenan [PDF]
A number of polysaccharides showed good antiviral activity against several animal viruses. At 5 micrograms/ml, carrageenan prevented the cell monolayer from destruction by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) growth. At 10 micrograms/ml, carrageenan reduced the formation of new infectious HSV-1 by almost five logs.
