Occult hepatitis C virus infection in patients in whom the etiology of persistently abnormal results of liver-function tests is unknown.
BACKGROUND There are patients in whom the etiology of long-standing abnormal results of liver-function tests is unknown (ALF-EU) after exclusion of all known causes of liver diseases. We analyzed the… Expand

In situ detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in salivary glands.
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been associated with several extrahepatic manifestations, among these, to diseases with oral manifestations such as Sjögren's syndrome or sialadenitis.… Expand

Hepatitis C virus replicates in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with occult hepatitis C virus infection
Background: Occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is characterised by the presence of HCV-RNA in the liver in the absence of anti-HCV, and serum viral RNA. Up to 70% of these patients also have… Expand

Occult hepatitis C virus infection among hemodialysis patients.
Occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (i.e., detectable HCV-RNA in the liver or peripheral blood mononuclear cells) in the absence of both serum HCV-RNA and anti-HCV antibodies has not been… Expand

Hepatitis C virus replicates in the liver of patients who have a sustained response to antiviral treatment.
BACKGROUND Positive-strand hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA has been detected in the livers of patients who have achieved a sustained biochemical and virological response to antiviral therapy (hereafter,… Expand

New perspectives in occult hepatitis C virus infection.
Occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as the presence of HCV RNA in liver and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the absence of detectable viral RNA in serum by standard… Expand

Genetic Diversity and Tissue Compartmentalization of the Hepatitis C Virus Genome in Blood Mononuclear Cells, Liver, and Serum from Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
ABSTRACT The degree of genetic variability in the hypervariable region 1 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was analyzed by cloning and sequencing HCV genomes obtained in paired samples of serum, liver… Expand

Hepatitis C virus core protein down-regulates transcription of interferon-induced antiviral genes.
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) proteins interfere with the interferon (IFN)-alpha-induced Jak/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. Which protein is responsible for… Expand

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Can Coinfect the Same Hepatocyte in the Liver of Patients with Chronic HCV and Occult HBV Infection
ABSTRACT In this work, we have shown that hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) can coexist in the same hepatocyte using double fluorescent in situ hybridization in liver biopsy samples… Expand

In Vitro Infection of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells by GB Virus C/Hepatitis G Virus
ABSTRACT GB virus C (GBV-C), also known as hepatitis G virus, is a recently discovered flavivirus-like RNA agent with unclear pathogenic implications. To investigate whether human peripheral blood… Expand
