Background Nucleoside/nucleotide analogue (NA) treatment causes selection pressure for HBV strains carrying mutations conferring NA resistance. Drug-resistance occur in the reverse transcriptase (RT) region of polymerase gene and spontaneously arise during viral replication. These can also alter hepatitis B surface (HBs) protein some cases reduce binding to HBs antibodies. The spread NA-resistant may impact efficacy antiviral immunization programmes. In this study, we used direct sequencing...
Background: Conflicting data regarding the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after cure HCV infection with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) remains. We investigated and risk factors to HCC treatment DAAs followed up for five years. Methods: A total 1075 patients ≥ 18 years were treated from 2015 2019 until 2022. Ultrasonography was performed before each 6 months thereafter. Results: Of total, 51/1075 (4.7%) developed in median 40 (IQR 25–58) months: 26/51 (51%) male, age 60 54–66)...
Our aim was to study the possible association between oral lichen planus and chronic hepatitis C in patients from state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two groups were studied: group 1, 50 with evaluated for presence C; 2, 215 examined evidence planus. Diagnosis both based on clinical histologic findings. One case diagnosed 1 (2.0%), which not considered statistically significant (P = .464). In prevalence 2.3% (5 cases), showed statistical significance .002). Although our results suggest as an...
Three children with acute schistosomiasis mansoni developed pyogenic liver abscesses. The abscesses were diagnosed by ultrasonography and confirmed during laparotomy. Staphylococcus aureus the sole bacteria isolated from An experimental study was carried out in mice to establish whether is a predisposing cause for Seventeen (group 1) infected 40 Schistosoma cercariae (LE strain) 60 d later inoculated intravenously strain of Staph. aureus, patient bacteraemia; 17 Sch. 2), 19 alone 3), 18...
The association between pyogenic liver abscesses and schistosomiasis has been confirmed by clinical experimental studies. In this retrospective study of 78 patients with the investigated. Pyodermitis, a known focus bacteremia, was observed in 19 (24%). Blood eosinophilia 30 (39%). Staphylococcus aureus cultured from 17 out 38 (45%). Forty-one 57 (53%) had stool examination. Schistosoma mansoni main parasite identified. Eggs S. were also identified biopsies 7 who did exam. large number young...
Objective: To discuss the epidemiological aspects of viral hepatites in dental professionals, with emphasis forms transmission and prevention. Method: Narrative review literature on risks prevention types practice. Results: Hepatites are a group inflammatory liver diseases several etiologies, among which most common those caused by A-E hepatotropic viruses. A E have acute self-limited clinical presentation. B C may become chronic progress to cirrhoses. The signs symptoms similar their...
