    Sammanfattning : GBV-C/HGV is a blood-borne virus related to the hepatitis C virus. We studied GBV-C/HGV infection in different populations, its transmission, and its association with liver disease. GBV-C/HGV viraemia was detected by PCR in 19/576 blood donors. Donors with normal and elevated ALT levels had similar rates of viraemia (1. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Epidemiology and clinical importance of GB virus C/hepatitis G virus

    Nyckelord :GBV-C; HGV; prevalence; transmission; children; fulminant hepatic failure; clinical importance;

    Sammanfattning : GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a recently discovered enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family. GBV-C/HGV has been suggested to be a causative agent of non-A-non-E hepatitis. However, several contradictory observations cast doubts that it actually causes hepatitis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Neonatal cholestasis : clinical and aetiological aspects, with special reference to viral infections transmitted from mother to infant

    Författare :Björn Fischler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :neonatal cholestasis; biliary atresia; progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis; vertical transmission; CMV; HCV; GBV-C HGV;

    Sammanfattning : Although the list of possible causes for neonatal cholestasis is long, in many cases the aetiology remains unknown. The aim of this thesis was to examine the pathogenetic role of viral infections in the early infantile cholestasis. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Viral diseases transmitted through blood and/or blood products continue to be a major health problem in developing countries. Much less is known about the distribution and transmission routes in these countries in development. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies on transmission and immune responses of the human hepaciviruses

    Författare :Margaret Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The hepatitis C virus (HCV) and GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) are the most recently identified hepaciviruses in the family of Flaviviridae. Although these viruses are transmitted mainly through parenteral routes a significant proportion of infected individuals lack identified transmission routes. LÄS MER
