HCV-RNA qualitative assay based on transcription mediated amplification improves the detection of hepatitis C virus infection in patients on hemodialysis: Results from five hemodialysis units in central Greece
Rigopoulou, E. I.; Stefanidis, I.; Liaskos, C.; Zervou, E. K.; Rizos, C.; Mina, P.; Zachou, K.; Syrganis, C.; Patsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulos, G.; Sdrakas, L.; Tsianas, N.; Dalekos, G. N. (2005)Background: End-stage renal disease patients (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk of acquiring hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. An early and accurate diagnosis of HCV infection is important for ... -
Hepatitis E virus antibodies in hemodialysis patients: An epidemiological survey in central Greece
Stefanidis, I.; Zervou, E. K.; Rizos, C.; Syrganis, C.; Patsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulos, G.; Sdrakas, L.; Tsianas, N.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Liakopoulos, V.; Dalekos, G. N. (2004)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent for enteric non-A, non-B hepatitis. Transmission is mainly via the fecal-oral route but the possibility of an additional parenteric transmission has been raised. Patients ... -
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I/II infections in volunteer blood donors from Northern and Western Greece: Increased prevalence in one blood bank unit
Zervou, E. K.; Georgiadou, S.; Tzilianos, M.; Georgitsi, P.; Pournara, V.; Nousis, S.; Pappas, C.; Daskalou, L.; Vrettou, A.; Karabini, F.; Dalekos, G. N. (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 ... -
Increased incidence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies in patients with hepatitis C is not associated with aetiopathogenetic link to anti-phospholipid syndrome
Dalekos, G. N.; Kistis, K. G.; Boumba, D. S.; Voulgari, P.; Zervou, E. K.; Drosos, A. A.; Tsianos, E. V. (2000)Objective Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been found to be associated with various diseases known as extra-hepatic manifestations of HCV. Recently, HCV has been implicated as a cause of the antiphospholipid ... -
Intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus infection in Greece
Zervou, E. K.; Gatselis, N. K.; Xanthi, E.; Ziciadis, K.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Dalekos, G. N. (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 ... -
Low prevalence of HCV, HIV, and HTLV-I/II infection markers in northwestern Greece: Results of a 3-year prospective donor study (1995-1997)
Zervou, E. K.; Boumba, D. S.; Liaskos, Ch; Georgiadou, S.; Tsianos, E. V.; Dalekos, G. N. (2003)Background: The risk of infection with transfusion-transmitted viruses has been reduced remarkably. A zero-risk blood supply, however, remains a popular goal. A 3-year prospective donor study was conducted in the Epirus ... -
Markers of hepatitis viruses and human T-lymphotropic virus types I/II in patients who have undergone open-heart surgery: Evidence of increased risk for exposure to HBV and HEV
Zervou, E. K.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Liapi, G. K.; Karabini, F.; Giogiakas, V.; Zisiadis, K.; Gatselis, N. K.; Goudevenos, I.; Dalekos, G. N. (2005)Background: Open-heart procedure is characterized by a high-risk for contracting blood-borne infections. We evaluated the prevalence of several markers of hepatitis viruses (B-E) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus types ... -
Value of anti-HBc screening of blood donors for prevention of HBV infection: results of a 3-year prospective study in Northwestern Greece
Zervou, E. K.; Dalekos, G. N.; Boumba, D. S.; Tsianos, E. V. (2001)BACKGROUND: The risk of infection with transfusion-transmitted viruses has been reduced remarkably. However, a zero-risk blood supply remains a popular goal. Some authorities have introduced the screening for antibody to ...
