1. Autoimmune hepatitis : life, death and in-between
Sammanfattning : Background Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease that is overrepresented in women (75% of cases). Studies have described a 10-year survival after diagnosis near to that of the general population, but less is known about the long-term survival. LÄS MER
2. Chronic hepatitis B in children

3. Genomic and transcriptomic profiles in chronic hepatitis B infection
Sammanfattning : Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects >250 million people globally and is the most common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis worldwide. Approximately one million deaths each year are attributed to HBV infection. The virus is adapted to the human host and has developed mechanisms to evade immunity. LÄS MER
