Autoantibodies and autoantigens in autoimmune hepatitis: Important tools in clinical practice and to study pathogenesis of the disease
Zachou, K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Dalekos, G. N. (2004)Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic necroinflammatory disease of the liver characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, characteristic autoantibodies, association with HLA DR3 or DR4 and a favorable response to immunosuppressive ... -
Descriptive epidemiology of chronic hepatitis B by using data from a hepatitis registry in Central Greece
Stefos, A.; Gatselis, N.; Zachou, K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Dalekos, G. N. (2009)Background: In Greece, there are few data on the epidemiological characteristics of HBV. Our aim was to study the epidemiological patterns of HBV in Central Greece and identify the possible differences in HBV prevalence ... -
Microbial mimics are major targets of crossreactivity with human pyruvate dehydrogenase in primary biliary cirrhosis
Bogdanos, D. P.; Baum, H.; Grasso, A.; Okamoto, M.; Butler, P.; Ma, Y.; Rigopoulou, E.; Montalto, P.; Davies, E. T.; Burroughs, A. K.; Vergani, D. (2004)Background/Aims: Previous studies on patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have shown extensive cross-reactivity between the dominant B- and T-cell epitopes of human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-E2 (PDC-E2), and ... -

Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse non-viral hepatic diseases
Georgiadou, S. P.; Zachou, K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Liaskos, C.; Mina, P.; Gerovasilis, F.; Makri, E.; Dalekos, G. N. (2004) -
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
Georgiadou, S. P.; Zachou, K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Liaskos, C.; Mina, P.; Gerovasilis, F.; Makri, E.; Dalekos, G. N. (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 ... -
Presence of high avidity anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases
Zachou, K.; Liaskos, C.; Rigopoulou, E.; Gabeta, S.; Papamichalis, P.; Gatselis, N.; Georgiadou, S.; Dalekos, G. N. (2006)We studied the prevalence and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) as similar data are missing. Ninety-nine PBC patients, 41 ... -
Prevalence and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis
Liaskos, C.; Rigopoulou, E.; Zachou, K.; Georgiadou, S.; Gatselis, N.; Papamihali, R.; Dalekos, G. N. (2005)There are few case reports on the association between autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and anticardiolipin antibodies (anti-CLAbs) and/or antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). We studied the anti-CLAbs prevalence in AIH and other ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis presented as peripheral eosinophilia in asymptomatic women with or without elevated alkaline phosphatase
Zachou, K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Liaskos, C.; Patsiaoura, K.; Makri, E.; Stathakis, N.; Dalekos, G. N. (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 ... -

Reversion of severe hepatopulmonary syndrome in a non cirrhotic patient after corticosteroid treatment for granulomatous hepatitis: A case report and review of the literature
Tzovaras, N.; Stefos, A.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Gatselis, N.; Papadamou, G.; Rigopoulou, E.; Ioannou, M.; Skoularigis, I.; Dalekos, G. N. (2006)Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined as a clinical triad including liver disease, abnormal pulmonary gas exchange and evidence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations. We report a 61-year-old male presented with fatigue, ... -

Risk factors associated with HCV infection in semi-rural areas of central Greece
Gatselis, N. K.; Rigopoulou, E.; Stefos, A.; Kardasi, M.; Dalekos, G. N. (2007)Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) appears to be endemic in most parts of the world, but there is considerable geographic variation. In order to assess the geographic distribution of HCV in Thessaly, in central Greece, ...
