BACKGROUND/AIMS Mongolia has one of the highest hepatitis A, C, B and D infection incidences worldwide. We sought to investigate changes in the proportion of acute viral hepatitis types in Mongolia over the last decade. METHODS The cohort comprised 546 consecutive patients clinically diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis from January 2012 to December 2014 in Ulaanbaatar Hospital, Mongolia. A t...

This paper investigates the impact of various parameters mathematical model for Hepatitis B virus-Hepatitis D virus (HBV-HDV) co-infection with controls (awareness, vaccine and therapy). It establishes that is biologically meaningful epidemiologically well posed. Furthermore, simulations are carried out on equations using MATLAB results indicate that; when $c_1$(awareness) increase from $0.08$ ...

objectives: patients with hepatitis c virus infection are at high risk of getting hepatitis a virus. hepatitis a virus is an important widespread virus that usually causes more severe medical consequences in patients with chronic liver disease. the purpose of this study was to evaluate prevalence of hepatitis a virus antibody in patients with chronic hcv in isfahan province, iran. methods: a cr...

Assays of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and antigen expression in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers with concurrent hepatitis C or D virus (HCV or HDV) infection revealed that HCV and HDV can suppress HBV replication but that HCV also substantially suppresses HBV surface protein expression. HBsAg carriers with concurrent HCV infection thus have low-level viremia and intracellular HBsAg.

Today, chronic viral hepatitis is considered as a public health problem in the world. Totally, 5% of the world population, especially in Asia and Africa suffer from this problem. The prevalence of acute hepatitis in America is 0.1-0.2 percent, 50% of those with hepatitis C (HCV) and 5-10% of them with hepatitis B (HCV) develop chronic hepatitis. Determining HBV and HCV genotypes is important to...

results of 351 patients, 76 patients (group 1) had a strong positive result for salivary occult blood test and 275 patients (group 2) had weak positive or negative test results. significant factors between the groups were obesity, level of ast, alt, ldh, alp, alb, d.bil, t.cho, afp, platelets (plt), iri, homa-ir, current interferon (ifn) treatment and the daily frequency of tooth brushing. betw...

background immunomodulators and nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection. however, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness. objectives the aim of this study was to characterize the hepatitis b virus reverse transcriptase (rt) protein variations among iranian chronic hbv carriers wh...
