All patients were thoroughly examined, and full labs were obtained before start and 3 & 6 months after treatment. Results: SVR was 100% in our research (P-value 0.001). Three- and six-months following therapy, there was a statistically significant increase in mean corpu...
For both of these POC tests the performance indices were unacceptable for individual patient management or epidemiological survey purposes.ConclusionsThe high prevalence of hepatitis/HIV coinfections may impact on treatment with antiretroviral therapy, especially if there are unintended interruptions of ...
In fact, 70-80% of acute hepatitis C cases do not present with any symptoms and those that do are mild and flu-like. Acute hepatitis can be cured if 6 months after treatment, the viral load is undetectable. If the virus does not clear up on its own, it is likely to become a ...
Nearly 60 million people worldwide are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), a bloodborne pathogen which leads to liver cirrhosis and increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Those with limited access to healthcare resources, such as injection dr

after 12 months of exposure, it is still a possibility, particularly in unusual forms of hepatotoxicity manifesting as chronic liver damage, such as steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and chronic hepatitis, which are initially asymptomatic and therefore permit treatment to persist for extended times [14–16]...
