Increasing numbers of acute hepatitis C infections in HIV-infected MSM and high reinfection rates following SVR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Database analysis of the ICH cohort (n=4851), analysis restricted to MSM seen between 1/2002 and 6/2010. Acute HCV infection was defined as a sudden rise in liver enzymes with a positive HCV PCR and/or a newly positive HCV serology (if negative before). The probability of reinfection was analyzed from primary diagnosis or end of HCV treatment until reinfection or last f/u (last blood sample).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody dynamics following acute HCV infection and reinfection among HIV-infected men who have sex with men.
BACKGROUND A decline of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody titers (anti-HCV), ultimately resulting in seroreversion, has been reported following clearance of viremia in both acute and chronic HCV infection. However, frequency of seroreversion remains unknown in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV-coinfected patients. We describe anti-HCV dynamics among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (M...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Hepatitis C Virus Reinfection After Sustained Virologic Response in Patients Coinfected With HIV
Background Highly effective hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies have spurred a scale-up of treatment to populations at greater risk of reinfection after sustained virologic response (SVR). Reinfection may be higher in HIV-HCV coinfection, but prior studies have considered small selected populations. We assessed risk factors for reinfection after SVR in a representative cohort of Canadian coinfect...

High cure rates with all-oral regimens for patients with HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection were a highlight of the 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections. Twelve weeks of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir led to sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 96% in treatment-naive and 98% in treatment-experienced HCV genotype 1-infected patients. Twelve weeks of sofosbuvir plu...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Moderate cure rates of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections with pegylated interferon and ribavirin have been described in the last decade in men who have sex with men (MSM), who are also coinfected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, a subsequent high incidence of HCV reinfections has been reported regionally in men who both clear the infection spontaneo...

INTRODUCTION Acute hepatitis C infection (HCV) is increasing in the HIV-infected population, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Patients co-infected with HCV and HIV progress more rapidly to liver cirrhosis and are at higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. We looked at our management of acute HCV to assess treatment outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospectiv...
