Multiscale Modeling of an 8-Week Combination Regimen of Bemnifosbuvir and Ruzasvir in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection. [PDF]
Bemnifosbuvir (BEM) and ruzasvir (RZR) are pan‐genotypic HCV polymerase (NS5B) and NS5A inhibitors, respectively. In a single‐arm study (NCT05904470), 215 treatment‐naïve, adherent participants with chronic HCV (with or without cirrhosis) received BEM 550 mg QD plus RZR 180 mg QD for 8 weeks.

HCV and Lymphoproliferation [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a serious public health problem because of its worldwide diffusion and sequelae. It is not only a hepatotropic but also a lymphotropic agent and is responsible not only for liver injury—potentially evolving to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma—but also for a series of sometimes severely disabling extrahepatic ...

We agree with Shah and colleagues[1][1] that the growing burden of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection poses a substantial public health concern. Managing HCV is difficult, because HCV is clinically silent for the majority of those infected.

Chronic HCV Infection: Clinical Advances and Eradication Perspectives [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection can determine liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as several extra-hepatic manifestations (i.e., mixed cryoglobulinemia, metabolic syndrome, kidney disease, etc.).

A hepatitis C avidity test for determining recent and past infections in both plasma and dried blood spots [PDF]
DBS testing has been used successfully to detect HCV antibody positive individuals. Determining how long someone has been infected is important for surveillance initiatives. Antibody avidity is a method that can be used to calculate recency of infection.

HCV treatment for prevention among people who inject drugs: Modeling treatment scale-up in the age of direct-acting antivirals. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Substantial reductions in hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence among people who inject drugs (PWID) cannot be achieved by harm reduction interventions such as needle exchange and opiate substitution therapy (OST) alone. Current HCV treatment is

AbstractChronic hepatitis C (CHC) is significantly associated with a risk of renal deterioration over time. Renal impairment, especially stage 4–5 chronic kidney disease, increases the risk of: (i) the prevalence and incidence (in dialysis/transplantation) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; (ii) liver deterioration during kidney transplantation and (

Constrained pattern of viral evolution in acute and early HCV infection limits viral plasticity [PDF]
Cellular immune responses during acute Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infection are a known correlate of infection outcome. Viral adaptation to these responses via mutation(s) within CD8+ T-cell epitopes allows these viruses to subvert host immune ...

HCV core antigen and HCV-RNA in HIV/HCV co-infected patients with different HCV genotypes [PDF]
A good correlation between HCV core antigen (HCVAg) and different HCV-RNA assays has been described, but little data are available in HCV/HIV co-infection. We aimed to evaluate HCVAg in comparison with HCV-RNA and to determine their kinetics during antiviral treatment in selected HCV/HIV co-infected patients.355 samples from 286 HCV/HIV co-infected ...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Post Direct Anti Hepatitis C Viral Agents; Clinical Features [PDF]
Background:Direct Anti Hepatitis C Viral Agents (DAAs) were introduced for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection management, which resulted in high sustained virological response (SVR) in many countries and a low failure rate.
