## Abstract Israel is endemic for hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of enteric nonβA, nonβB hepatitis. Transmission is via the fecoβoral route but the possibility of transmission through blood transfusion has been raised. This question was addressed by examining sera from 188 hemophilic
Our algorithm cannot be directly applied to other populations directly because clinical backgrounds differ among countries. However, we think that our study is applicable on a global scale because it has clearly shown that a combination of viral and host factors is effective for predicting the respo
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is especially problematic in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are undergoing hemodialysis. Rates of HCV infection are higher among hemodialysis patients than in the general population, and several routes of transmission are thought to stem from the d
Recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation is a universal phenomenon. Graft reinfection occurs rapidly; once it is established, allograft cirrhosis and decompensation rapidly ensue in many patients. Treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin is the standard of care among nontransplant
