Aiming towards hepatitis C virus elimination in Greece
(2019)There are estimated to be 74,000-134,000 patients living with chronic hepatitis C in Greece, but only 20-30% of them are aware of their disease status. In July 2017, the Hellenic National Plan for Hepatitis C was announced ... -
Association Between Level of Hepatitis D Virus RNA at Week 24 of Pegylated Interferon Therapy and Outcome
(2015)Background & Aims: Interferon is the only effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection. No rules have been set for stopping treatment based on viral kinetics. We analyzed data from an international ... -
Children and Adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Epidemiology, Clinical Course and Viral Loads
(2020)Background: There is limited information on severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children. Methods: We retrieved data from the national database on SARS-CoV-2 infections. We studied in-family ... -
Clinical significance of organ- and non-organ-specific autoantibodies on the response to anti-viral treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C
(2006)Background: Development of organ- and non-organ-specific autoantibodies has been reported in hepatitis C virus patients treated with interferon-α plus/minus ribavirin. Aims: To address whether prevalence and the titre of ... -
COVID-19 Infection among Elite Football Players: A Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study
(2022)Little is known about the risk of COVID-19 infection among footballers. We aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of COVID-19 infection among footballers. In total, 480 football players of Super League ... -
Daring-B: Discontinuation of effective entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate long-term therapy before HBsAg loss in non-cirrhotic HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B
(2018)Background: The remission rates after stopping antivirals in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) vary among studies, while reliable predictors of relapse have not been identified. This prospective ... -
Epstein-Barr virus: In search of a causal or a casual relationship between the virus and the disease?
(2018)[No abstract available] -
Hepatitis D virus-specific cytokine responses in patients with chronic hepatitis delta before and during interferon alfa-treatment
(2011)Background: Hepatitis delta is caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV) and is considered the most severe form of viral hepatitis. Treatment options for hepatitis delta are limited, with only 25% of patients ... -
Investigation of Fas (APO-1)-Related Apoptosis in Piglets Intradermally or Intramuscularly Vaccinated with a Commercial PRRSV MLV
(2022)Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induces apoptosis through the activation of death receptors, including cell-surface Fas receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of intradermal ... -
Lessons We Have Learned Regarding Seroprevalence in High and Low SARS-CoV-2 Contexts in Greece before the Omicron Pandemic Wave
(2022)Background: Antibody seroprevalence in rural communities remains poorly investigated. We compared the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in two Greek communities in June and July 2021 after the end of the Delta-driven pandemic wave ... -
Molecular approaches for HPV genotyping and HPV-DNA physical status
(2017)Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes is the leading cause of cervical cancer development. To this end several studies have focused on designing molecular assays for HPV genotyping, which ... -
Nasopharyngeal Wash with Normal Saline Decreases SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load: A Randomized Pilot Controlled Trial
(2022)Background. Although great progress has been made over the past 2 years in the scientific understanding of the biology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), case ... -
p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase impairment of innate immune cells is a characteristic feature of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B
(2020)The mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (MAPK) is implicated in the induction of immune responses by regulating the differentiation of T lymphocytes and production of cytokines. Our aim was to investigate p38MAPK ... -
Performance of Antigen Detection Tests for SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) initiated global health care challenges such as the necessity for new diagnostic tests. Diagnosis by real-time PCR remains the gold-standard method, yet economical and technical issues ... -
A randomized controlled study on the efficacy of a novel combination vaccine against enzootic pneumonia (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae) and porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) in the presence of strong maternally derived PCV2 immunity in pigs
(2017)Background: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) and Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) are major pathogens that cause significant health problems in swine worldwide. Maternal derived immunity (MDI) has been suggested as a ... -
Rapid test ag 2019-nCoV (PROGNOSIS, BIOTECH, Larissa, Greece); performance evaluation in hospital setting with real time RT-PCR
(2021)Introduction: Rapid antigen tests (RATs) are convenient for SARS-CoV-2 detection be-cause they are simpler and faster than nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a locally ... -
