Treatment of acute C hepatitis in HIV-infected patients.
To the Editor: Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with HIV infection. Although treatment with pegylated interferon (pegIFN) and ribavirin has significantly improved the therapeutic outcome of chronic HCV hepatitis, 30% to 50% of such patients do not achieve a sustai...
متن کاملManagement of chronic hepatitis C in HIV-infected patients.
Coinfection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common among persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Treatment regimens based on standard interferon α (IFN α) and ribavirin (RBV) are recommended for chronic HCV, but they pose special concerns in patients coinfected with HIV, particularly those patients who are receiving antiretroviral therapy.

متن کاملHepatitis E Virus Seroprevalence and Viremia in Hemodialysis and HIV Infected Patients in Iran
Background and Aims: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is usually a self-limited viral disease that causes acute hepatitis and may progress to chronic hepatitis in immunosuppressed individuals. It seems that hemodialysis patients and HIV infected people are more exposed to HEV infection.

متن کاملPrevalence of hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV infection among hemodialysis patients in Jenin District (Palestine)
Background and Aims: End-stage renal disease patients treated by hemodialysis (HD) are more susceptible for infection by viral hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Infection by these viruses is promoted by the characteristic immunological dysfunction that develops in renal failure and interferes with the patient's ability to eliminate these viruses. Prevalence of these v...
متن کاملComparison of Hepatitis C Genotypes in Plasma and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PMBCs) in Hepatitis C-Infected Patients
Abstract Background and Aims: The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is essentially hepatotropic but virus compartment has also been found in other important extra hepatic sites. Detection of HCV RNA in extra hepatic reservoirs such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is important for determining of disease progression and effective treatment. The present study aimed to determine of differe...
