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 ...
Cryoglobulinemia due to chronic viral hepatitis infections is not a major problem in clinical practice
(2001)
Background: Essential mixed cryoglobulinemia (EMC) is a systemic disease frequently associated with chronic viral hepatitis. This study was conducted in order to assess the prevalence of EMC in patients with hepatitis B ...
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
