Evolution of hepatitis C quasispecies may be one mechanism by which fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis develops after liver transplantation. In this study, we compared changes in quasispecies complexity and/or divergence in (1) hepatitis C-infected immunosuppressed transplant recipients and in immunoco
Spontaneous resolution of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is exceedingly rare and poorly understood. As HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have shared routes of transmission, HCV coinfection is estimated to affect 15%-30% of the HIV-positive population. We report 2 patients with HC
Liver transplantation in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a recent indication. In a single center, we have compared the survival and severity of recurrent HCV infection after liver transplantation in HIV-HCV-coinfected and HCV-monoinfected pa
The outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on patient and graft survival after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has been controversial. An earlier experience with a higher dose of tacrolimus (H0.1 mg/kg/d intravenously and H0.2 mg/ kg/d orally) was associated with a worse clinical outcom
The expression of interleukin 7 receptor alpha high (IL-7Rβ£ high ) discriminates between activated CD25 Ο© CD45RO Ο© CD4 Ο© T cells [IL-7Rβ£ high and forkhead box P3-negative (FoxP3 Οͺ )] and regulatory T cells (IL-7Rβ£ low and FoxP3 Ο© ). The IL-7Rβ£ high CD25 Ο© CD45RO Ο© CD4 Ο© FoxP3 Οͺ T cell population has
