Researchers evaluated the prevalence of late recurrent viremia following sofosbuvir-based treatment.

Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% for the quantitative real-time reverse-transcriptase assay.

Researchers did not observe a significant improvement with hydrocortisone over placebo for time until septic shock or mortality.

Tryptophan starvation did not completely block chlamydial development in high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) negative C33A cell lines.
