    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. Hepatitis C virus infection : molecular analysis of transmission and immunity

    Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important cause for chronic liver disease worldwide. Infection by HCV may resolve spontaneously, but in the majority of cases a chronic infection is established, that may result in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

    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

  7. 5. Chronic hepatitis C infection. With special reference to prevalence, aggravating factors and longterm outcome

    Sammanfattning : Since the discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989, it has proved to be a formidable health problem with a major impact on morbidity and mortality throughout the world. In this investigation, patients with chronic hepatitis C infection have been studied with special reference to prevalence, aggravating factors and longterm outcome. LÄS MER
