there's a small risk hepatitis A will cause sudden liver failure. You'll have to spend time in the hospital and might need a liver transplant. This is a rare complication.
among the general population. The size of this hidden population may be substantial. A recent study estimated that of the total population of HCV-infected individuals in a high-income country, only 34% are in relatively easy to reach high-risk groups such as hemophiliac patients, HIV-infected ...

Given that the prevalence was < 0.5% for workers younger than 50 years, the costs involved in screening such workers with low prevalence may be seen as a barrier. Thus, it seems that the theoretical strategies should focus on high-risk groups, including birth cohort, drug users, or reside...
Viral infections have been reported to be a risk factor for AIH, providing an insight in the pathogenetic mechanism of molecular mimicry, whereby immune responses to pathogens are redirected towards structurally similar self-antigens [29]. This has been best described in AIH-2, in which an amino...
for active-duty military populations in our state approach because this group consists of persons originating from multiple states residing in facilities outside of state jurisdiction, for whom data on origin states are unavailable and for whom there exists insufficient evidence of increased HCV risk....
Our results show a trend of increasing age of the susceptible population. These people would also benefit from HAV vaccination because they are likely to develop clinically serious symptoms after infection, and are increasingly at risk of exposure through imported viruses through foods or travellers. ...
In high-risk individuals who have had titers checked after primary HB immunization, a small percentage of apparently healthy recipients do not mount a detectable response to the vaccine. This failure to respond is related to factors such as age (>40 years), male gender, smoking, obesity,HIV ...
