Baseline anti-NS4a antibodies in combination with on-treatment quantitative HCV-RNA reliably identifies nonresponders to pegylated interferon-ribavirin combination therapy after 4 weeks of treatment [PDF]

, 2010
Background Early detection of nonresponders to hepatitis C therapy limits unnecessary exposure to treatment and its side-effects. A recent algorithm combining baseline anti-NS4a antibodies and on-treatment quantitative PCR identified nonresponders to a ...

Auto-antibodies in hepatitis C

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1999
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been implicated in the development of a variety of autoimmune phenomena, some of which are well documented and include a panel of auto-antibodies shared with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Anti-nuclear (ANA) and smooth muscle (SMA) antibodies (markers of AIH type 1 [AIH-1]), have been demonstrated in 9-38% and 5-91% of cases ...

Hepatitis C Virus Antibodies and Vitiligo Disease [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2005
Vitiligo is a common skin disorder, characterized by depigmented patches due to selective destruction of melanocytes. The etiology of this disease is unknown. A number of hypotheses including viral theory have been proposed to explain the etiology.
