Hepatitis C: screening in pregnancy
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999Hepatitis C virus infection, which is far more prevalent than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, can lead to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic failure, and death. Like HIV-1, hepatitis C is transmitted parenterally, sexually, and from mother to infant.

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 1999
Background: Alcohol abuse and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection frequently coexist in patients with chronic liver disease. It is widely believed that alcohol and HCV act synergistically in these patients to promote the development and progression of liver damage.Methods: A review of the relevant medical literature, identified by computer assisted ...

Hepatitis C virus genotypes in chronic hepatitis C of children
Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 1996SUMMARY.Several hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes have been recently identified and genotype 1b has been correlated with severe liver disease and a poor response to interferon therapy. HCV infection in children is an interesting model for evaluation of the relationship between HCV genotypes and liver disease, because of its relatively short duration ...

Hepatitis B and C are worldwide infectious hepatitides which are distinct in terms of epidemiology and molecular biology, but which may be quite similar in terms of clinical manifestations and histopathology, in both the acute and chronic stages. Hepatitis B virus (HBV), the human prototype of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses is not directly ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections represent a major global public health and economic burden, with an estimated 257 million and 71 million people, respectively, having chronic infection worldwide. The natural history of HBV and HCV in children depends on age at time of infection, mode of acquisition, ethnicity, and genotype.

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2000
Hepatitis C was responsible for the majority of cases of posttransfusion hepatitis before the introduction of a specific screening test for blood donors. Infected recipients may remain asymptomatic for many years, but cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma may develop decades after infection. Lookback, or the identification of recipients of potentially

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2003
Summary. The apoptotic process appears to be a host defence mechanism against viral infections and tumourigenesis. However, many viral genomes encode proteins, which repress apoptosis so as to escape from immune attack by the host. Therefore, virus–host interactions may determine viral persistence, extent and severity of liver inflammation and possibly

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 1998
Chronic hepatitis C is a major health care problem throughout the world. The disease may progress to cirrhosis, with complications such as hepatocellular carcinoma. The usual primary goal of therapy is viral eradication, as patients with long‐term remission are generally regarded as unlikely to develop cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma.

Alcohol abuse and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection coexist with chronic liver disease in many patients. The mechanism of injury in these patients is probably multifactorial and involves, but is not limited to, a combination of diminished immune clearance of HCV, oxidative stress, emergence of HCV quasi-species, hepatic steatosis, increased iron stores,
