Hepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors
Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...
متن کاملUpdate on chronic hepatitis C in hemophiliacs.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients affected by hereditary bleeding disorders and treated with non-virus inactivated clotting factor concentrates during the 1970s. INFORMATION SOURCES In this review, we briefly report the present knowledge about HCV infection in hemophilic patients. The natural course of hepa...
متن کاملDistribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection in India.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, shows a considerable genetic heterogeneity among hepatitis C virus isolates from all over the world. At least six main groups of sequence variants are recognized. The natural history of disease and response to treatment may be related to the genotype of HCV in a part...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence diversity of hypervariable region 1 of hepatitis C virus in Japanese hemophiliacs with chronic hepatitis C and patients with chronic posttransfusion hepatitis C.
Hemophiliac patients with chronic hepatitis C might be exposed to and become infected with multiple hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains by means of frequent use of blood products, even if they are infected with a single subtype of HCV. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the genetic diversity of hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of HCV in chronically infected hemophiliacs and in patients with chronic ...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
