A team of investigators assessed whether extending the duration of treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents would improve the virologic response in individuals with hepatitis C virus infection who demonstrate slow response to therapy.
Opt-out, universal screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection conducted in urban emergency departments revealed a high prevalence of anti-HCV in adult patients tested.
Exposure to, and infection with, hepatitis C virus (HCV) in infants may cause disparate effects on adaptive B cells and innate immune cells, such as myeloid cells and natural killer cells.
In the United States between 2005 and 2014, inpatient prevalence of HAV in kidney transplant recipients was 23.42 cases per 100,000 admissions, and hospitalization for HAV after kidney transplantation was associated with ICU stay.
Treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) appears to be associated with an early high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with undefined or nonmalignant nodules.
Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir therapy is effective and well tolerated in patients aged > 75 years with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Hepatitis B surface antigen loss after nucleos(t)ide analogue or peginterferon (Peg-IFN)-containing regimens is durable in most patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Front-line providers minimally could check HBV DNA and ALT during pregnancy to assess mother‐to‐child transmission risk but HBeAg is recommended to be included in the initial HBV evaluation to get a more comprehensive understanding of the patient’s HBV disease state.
Viral hepatitis causing concomitant acute pancreatitis is a rare entity and outcomes vary depending on the type of hepatitis virus.
Because after hepatitis B viral suppression the cause and intervention for elevated alanine aminotransferase is somewhat unknown, investigators conducted a real-world study.
