Hepatitis C virus survival curve analysis in naïve patients treated with PegInterferon α-2b plus ribavirin. A randomized controlled trial for induction with high doses of PegInterferon and predictability of sustained viral response from early virologic data
(2006)
Aim. To evaluate the significance of induction with high doses of pegylated interferon α-2b (Peg-IFNα-2b) and the predictability of sustained virologic response (SVR) in naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods. ...
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ...
Quantitative HBsAg and HDV-RNA levels in chronic delta hepatitis
(2010)
Background: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes severe liver disease. Aims: To investigate the quantitative HDV-RNA, HBsAg and hepatitis B virus (HBV)DNA levels in correlation to histological, biochemical and demographical ...
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I/II infections in volunteer blood donors from Northern and Western Greece: Increased prevalence in one blood bank unit
(2004)
Blood donors are routinely screened for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type I and II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) in the United States, Canada, Japan, and some European countries. Previous reports from our group ...
Unusual cardiovascular complications of brucellosis presenting in two men: Two case reports and a review of the literature
(2011)
Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution, which is particularly endemic in many countries of the Mediterranean basin. Cardiovascular complications of this disease, such as endocarditis, myocarditis ...
Intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus infection in Greece
(2005)
Objective: No study has investigated the intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in Greece. We conducted a 9-year prospective study to determine the rate of HBV spread in family members when a member is identified ...
Primary retroperitoneal non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with torturous generalized pruritus in an elderly
(2007)
Introduction: A case of a rare primary retroperitoneal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which presented with torturous generalized pruritus in a 74-year-old female patient is reported Methods: Case report. Results: Explorative ...
Primary biliary cirrhosis presented as peripheral eosinophilia in asymptomatic women with or without elevated alkaline phosphatase
(2004)
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the destruction of biliary epithelial cells, presumably by autoimmune mechanism(s). Although lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the ...
PBC Screen: An IgG/IgA dual isotype ELISA detecting multiple mitochondrial and nuclear autoantibodies specific for primary biliary cirrhosis
(2010)
A dual isotype (IgG, IgA) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed to provide enhanced detection of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific autoantibodies against both major mitochondrial and nuclear antigens ...
Early primary biliary cirrhosis: A new association with erythema nodosum of unknown origin
(2010)
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is associated with immune-mediated dermatologic disorders. The association of PBC with erythema nodosum (EN) seems rare. We report two females (42 and 44 years old) with low-grade fever, ...
