To evaluate the efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) associated cryoglobulinemia and monoclonal gammapathy (MG).

background il28b polymorphism is recognized as one of the most prominent predictors of hepatitis c spontaneous and treatment-induced clearance. interestingly, the favorable genotypes of il28b are found to be more frequent in asian ethnicity than caucasian and african populations, respectively. a few studies reported that there is a mysterious association between the il28b polymorphism and the h...

A specific enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was developed by recombinant DNA technology. Abbott HCV EIA was used to detect antibody to HCV (anti-HCV) in non-transfused and multiply-transfused thalassemia patients. None of 11 non-transfused patients had anti-HCV but 3 of 52 (5.8%) multiply-transfused patients had anti-HCV. This study showed that the...

Introduction: The substance misuse epidemic has fueled an increase in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Despite the availability of sensitive screening and curative treatment, relatively few people are aware their diagnosis engaged care. In this study, we aimed to identify local gaps HCV care inform strategies for improvement.
