Numerous pathogens can affect cellular homeostasis and organelle dynamics. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) triggers Golgi fragmentation through the immunity-related GTPase M (IRGM), a resident protein, to enhance its lipid supply for replication.

the most frequently studied association between a hepatitis virus and non hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) has been with hepatitis c virus (hcv). association with hepatitis b virus (hbv) is less studied. in this regard mixed cryoglobulinemia (mc) is more commonly associated with hcv than hbv. still rarer is cryofibrinogenemia in these patients.   lack of symptoms in addition its rarity delays the diagnos...

results the mean age of children was 6.5 ± 4.2 years. the frequency of positive results for hbsag, anti-hbs and anti-hcv in all age groups were 12 (3.6%), 47 (14.2%) and 2 (0.6%), respectively. anti-hiv was not detected in any of the children's serum samples. the frequency of positive results for hbsag was significantly higher in children older than six years than in other age groups. conclusio...

Background & Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. The clearance of the HCV is dependent on cytokines control led by genetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Lymphotoxin (LT-A) polymorphism at +252 in susceptibility to chronic hepatitis C. Methods: In this case-control study, 120 individuals infected by HCV and ...

Hepatitis C is a long-term viral infection affecting the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus HCV. Hepatitis C can be silent for years before symptoms appear, and liver damage occurs. The hepatitis C virus is extremely infectious, which means that only a tiny amount of HCV can cause illness. Hepatitis C is a major public health problem worldwide with far-reaching implications because of the ch...

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...

Background: The clinical significance of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and some other viral infections is controversial. Objective: To study the prevalence of anticardiolipin antibody (ACLA) and antibeta2glycoproteinI antibody (antibeta2GPI antibody) in HCV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients and its association with liver clinical parame...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the two most common blood borne, hepatotrophic viruses. HBV and HCV are important causes of liver related mortality and morbidity. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are significant public health problems especially in developing countries like India. Hepatitis B was first reported in 1963 and hepatitis C in 1988 (Blumberg, 1997; Bonkovski et al....
