Damage of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes is mediated by both a direct cytopathic effect of the viruses and by immunologic response of T-cells. However, other mechanisms such as ...
Anti-cardiolipin antibodies in patients with chronic viral hepatitis are independent of beta2-glycoprotein I cofactor or features of antiphospholipid syndrome
(2003)
Background Although controversial, some authorities have implicated hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a cause of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APLS). Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (anti-CLAbs) in APLS are cofactor-dependent ('pathogenic' ...
