To clarify the long-term clinical signficiance, antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) was examined using core (p22) and nonstructural (C100-3) protein assays in sera of 18 patients with non-A,non-B posttransfusion hepatitis (PTH-NANB) who were selected retrospectively. Each patient had been followed f

Twenty-eight patients with chronic active hepatitis without cirrhosis who were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody to hepatitis B e antigen were followed for 1 to 15 years (mean 6.6 years) and underwent follow-up biopsy. At presentation, 12 of the 28 patients (43%) had hepatitis B
We reanalyzed the results of a pilot study of recombinant alpha-interferon therapy for chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis in light of the recent discovery of the hepatitis C virus and the development of diagnostic assays for this agent. Stored serum samples from 10 patients treated between 1984 and 1986
There are several different strategies for the follow-up of patients on AIDS clinical trials. In some trials, data are only collected until patients stop protocol therapy for any reason. Alternatively, patients are followed until they have disease progression or the study ends. It has been suggested
Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are the serological hallmark for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). When AMAs are detected in patients with chronic hepatitis, they negatively impact on the autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) scoring system. The purpose of this study was to determine if AMAs detected in the
