Treatment of locally recurrent epstein-barr virus-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma using the anti-viral agent cidofovir.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated malignant tumor. Recently, cidofovir, an anti-viral drug which is an acyclic nucleoside analogue, has been reported to have an anti-tumor potential. Two patients with NPC, who had previously received multi-round therapy, were treated […]
Detection of a broad range of human adenoviruses in respiratory tract samples using a sensitive multiplex real-time PCR assay.
Human adenoviruses (hAdVs) are associated with acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric populations and have been identified as a cause of outbreaks in institutional settings. Rapid diagnosis of hAdV infection is critical for appropriate […]
Human papillomavirus infection and cervical abnormalities in Nairobi, Kenya, an area with a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical abnormalities, and their association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection were studied in 488 women who visited a health center in Nairobi. PCR-based HPV and cervical cytology […]
Prevalence and risk factors for viral hepatitis in the Kosovarian population: implications for health policy.
The prevalence of hepatitis infection among the Kosovarian population is largely unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis A, B, C, and D (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV) infection among […]
Cross-protection of hepatitis E virus genotypes 1 and 4 in rhesus macaques.
The purpose of this study was to determine cross-protection between HEV genotypes 1 and 4, which are prevalent in China. Fecal suspensions of genotypes 1 and 4 from patients, as well as genotype 4 from swine, were inoculated intravenously into rhesus […]
Binding of liver derived, low density hepatitis C virus to human hepatoma cells.
HCV recovered from low density fractions of infected blood is associated with lipid and host apo-lipoproteins in lipo-viro-particles (LVP). It has been proposed that these particles are capable of binding and entering hepatocytes by viral glycoprotein independent mechanisms utilizing uptake […]
Occult hepatitis C virus infection during an outbreak in a hemodialysis unit in Thailand.
Control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hemodialysis populations is a major public health priority, but the preferred methods to prevent and rapidly detect HCV outbreaks in these populations remains subject to debate. We enrolled 231 hemodialysis patients at […]
Rapid viral response and treatment outcome in genotype 2 and 3 chronic hepatitis C: comparison between two HCV RNA quantitation methods.
Fifty consecutive patients with genotype 2 or 3 chronic hepatitis C were treated with peg-IFN alfa-2a 135 microg weekly and ribavirin (11 mg/kg body weight) daily during 24 weeks. Rapid viral response […]
Seroprevalence and risk factors for hepatitis A, B, and C among roma and non-roma children in a deprived area of Athens, Greece.
The prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis A, B, and C (HAV, HBV, and HCV) markers were compared in non-Roma and Roma children who lived in a deprived suburb of Athens, […]
Acute hepatitis A virus infection in Turkey.
Anti-HAV IgM positive serum samples from acute phase hepatitis A patients from various areas in Turkey were tested for viral RNA by RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction), using primer pairs from two different regions of the HAV genome. The PCR products amplified from both genomic […]
