Screening Program to Eliminate Hepatitis C in Egypt In 2018, the Egyptian government initiated a massive hepatitis screening and treatment program. The Ministry of Health set goal screenin...
Abstract Despite notable scientific and medical advances, broader political, socioeconomic behavioural factors continue to undercut the response COVID-19 pandemic 1,2 . Here we convened, as part of this Delphi study, a diverse, multidisciplinary panel 386 academic, health, non-governmental organization, government other experts in from 112 countries territories recommend specific actions end persistent global threat public health. The developed set 41 consensus statements 57 recommendations...
Abstract Researchers around the world are working at record speed to find best ways treat and prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). This study aimed evaluate efficacy of ivermectin for treatment hospitalized mild moderate COVID‐19 infected patients. was a randomized open‐label controlled that included 164 patients with COVID‐19. Patients were into two groups where Group 1 (Ivermectin group) who received 12 mg once daily 3 days standard care 2 (control protocol alone 14 days. The main...
Limited experimental and clinical evidence suggests a potential role for sofosbuvir/daclatasvir in treating COVID19. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of generic COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.This multicenter prospective study involved 174 COVID-19. Patients were randomized into two groups. Group A (96 patients) received sofosbuvir (400 mg)/daclatasvir (60 mg) 14 days combination conventional therapy. B (78 therapy alone. Clinical, laboratory, radiological data collected at baseline, after...
Introduction: Local ablative therapy and trans arterial chemoembolization (TACE) are applied to ablate non resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Combination of both techniques has proven be more effective. We aimed study combined ablation assess survival benefit comparing TACE with radiofrequency (RFA) versus microwave (MWA) techniques. Methods: retrospectively studied 22 patients who were ablated using TACE-RFA 45 TACE-MWA. All classified as Child A-B lesions did not exceed 5 cm in...
Background: The prevalence of fatty liver disease in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) is significantly higher than general population. This study aims to compare the burden Egyptian PLHIV using both metabolic dysfunction-associated (MAFLD) and steatotic (SLD) criteria. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional was conducted on attending HIV reference center at Embaba Fever Hospital Egypt between November 2019 July 2021. Data collection included demographics,...
A recent appearance of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) led to a surge in hepatitis C virus (HCV) management. Nowadays, large proportion treated patients have cirrhosis with retained possibility develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) even after complete cure. We aimed study tumoral differences between who developed HCC DAAs as either recurrence or de-novo HCC.We retrospectively analyzed 89 presented our multidisciplinary clinic lesions following DAA therapy. total 45 had response according...
Identifying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance and associated factors among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Middle East North Africa region is important to meet need for broad-scale vaccination against COVID-19.To investigate COVID-19 rate PLHIV region.An online cross-sectional survey was conducted currently Egypt, Tunisia Saudi Arabia between March 2021 August 2021.Of 540 respondents, 19.3% reported already being vaccinated (n = 104), 32.0% responded 'definitely...
Assessment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C virus patients by liver biopsy is not widely accepted despite its accuracy, being invasive, carrying complications, and adding cost. This paved the way to development use non‐invasive markers diagnosis fibrosis. We aimed at evaluating efficiency Fib‐4, Egy‐score, Aspartate‐to‐platelet ratio index (APRI), Göteborg University Cirrhosis Index (GUCI) comparison biopsy, assessment patients. was a cross sectional study including 200 HCV were...
Elastography point quantification (ElastPQ) is a newly noninvasive method incorporated into conventional ultrasound system for staging of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic diseases.The aim was to evaluate ElastPQ reproducibility and its accuracy hepatitis C virus (HCV) comparison transient elastography (TE) scores [FIB-4 aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI)] using biopsy as reference standard also predict the sensitivity specificity well proposing cut-off advanced...
Background: The present work aimed at evaluation of the potential dynamic changes in hepatic fibrosis following treatment chronic HCV using DAAs patients coinfected with HIV. Patients and methods: In total, 50 HCV/HIV [age; 34.68 ± 10.38 years, 82% men] were included. For all included patients, liver stiffness measured transient elastography as well serum scores; [fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI)] calculated baseline 12 24-weeks weeks therapy...
Abstract Background Novel direct-acting antiviral agents have shown great efficacy and tolerability in HCV-monoinfected patients. However, data are lacking regarding their safety HIV/HCV-genotype (GT) 4-coinfected Methods A single-centre, prospective study including HIV/HCV-GT patients who were treated with sofosbuvir daclatasvir (SOF/DCV) was conducted for 12 wk. Sustained virological response (SVR) at week post-treatment (SVR12), adverse events (AEs) changes liver stiffness measurement...
Egypt used to have one of the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection prevalence rates worldwide, with an estimated HCV around 4.5% 6.7%.To determine incidence rate amid Egyptian patients living HIV.A total 460 HIV-positive were recruited in a retrospective cohort study from Imbaba Fever Hospital, Cairo, between January 2016 and March 2019. The had negative baseline at least other antibody test. Hepatitis testing was done by sandwich third-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay....

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a huge burden on healthcare systems, especially programs for chronic illnesses such as HIV. We aimed to assess the challenges confronting adult people living with HIV (PLHIV) three countries North Africa during COVID-19 crisis and their awareness of non-pharmaceutical preventive measures.This online survey included PLHIV aged ≥18 y from recruited by snowball sampling technique, who were asked complete modified questionnaire originally...
