Natural history and treatment of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus coinfection

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2005
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection is not uncommon as a result of similar routes of infection. Patients who are coinfected represent a unique group with diverse serologic profiles.

Examination of the risk of reinfection with hepatitis C among injecting drug users who have been tested in Glasgow [PDF]

, 2012
Unsafe injecting practices put injecting drug users (IDUs) at repeat exposure to infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It has not yet been determined if spontaneously clearing one's primary infection influences the risk of reinfection; our aim was ...
