HCV-related autoimmune and neoplastic disorders: the HCV syndrome

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2007
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection may be associated with a great number of both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. HCV lymphotropism is responsible for poly-oligoclonal B-lymphocyte expansion, which is the common underlying alteration in a significant percentage of HCV-infected individuals.

HCV-specific lymphocyte responses in individuals with positive anti-HCV but negative HCV-RNA

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2015
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) status cannot be reliably predicted in anti-HCV positive/HCV-RNA negative individuals who may either have recovered spontaneously or have a false-positive test due to antibody cross-reaction. Investigating T lymphocyte responses in individuals with different HCV status may help understand the cellular immune mechanisms ...

HCV-related autoimmune disorders in HCV chronic infection.

La Clinica terapeutica, 2013
Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection may develop a great number of extrahepatic manifestations. Among these latter, mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) represents the prototype of HCV-associated autoimmune-lymphoproliferative disorders. Other rheumatological manifestations of HCV chronic infection are Siögren syndrome, arthritis and CREST ...

Epidemiology of HCV Infection

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2008
It is estimated that approximately 130-170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). According to data from WHO community and blood donor surveys, the African and Eastern Mediterranean countries report the highest prevalence rates (>10%).

Current epidemiology of HCV in Sicily: the RESIST-HCV model

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2019
Background: Real-world data to guide hepatitis C virus (HCV)- related public health initiatives and linkage to care of patients are lacking in our region. Aims: To describe the epidemiological features of a large cohort of patients with chronic HCV infection from Sicily included in a regional network aimed at DAA treatment (RESIST-HCV).

HCV Infection in Poland

Archives of Medical Research, 2000
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the world. In 1997, hepatitis C became a statutorily noticeable disease in Poland. Nevertheless, to date, only a few notable studies on the prevalence of HCV infection have been carried out in Poland.

The HCV-bDNA probe method for measurement of HCV-RNA counts by HCV genotype

International Hepatology Communications, 1994
Abstract HCV-RNA counts have been determined previously by using the reverse transcription (RT)-competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Recently, the HCV-branched DNA (HCV-bDNA) probe method, an application of hybridization technology, was developed, and it made an easy measurement of HCV-RNA counts possible.

HCV-associated lymphomas.

Reviews in clinical and experimental hematology, 2003
Epidemiologic and molecular observations have recently suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) may be the causative agent of some B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL). Epidemiologic data suggest that in Italy about 5% of B-NHL are caused by HCV. Molecular data indicate a close relationship between HCV-associated B-NHL and type II mixed cryoglobulinemia.
