Hepatitis G virus/GB virus C (HGV/GBV-C) is a blood-borne flavivirus of humans that was first characterized in 1995. While up to 80% of acutely infected individuals spontaneously clear the virus, chronic viraemia is common and can persist for up to 16 years. 1 The production of antibodies to the HGV/GBV-C envelope protein E2 has been associated with the clearance of the virus and is believed to protect against reinfection. 2 In communities in developed countries, HGV/GBV-C has a high prevalence…

High Rates of Detection of Respiratory Viruses in Tonsillar Tissues from Children with Chronic Adenotonsillar Disease
TLDR
Respiratory viruses are highly prevalent in adenoids and palatine tonsils of patients with chronic tonsillar diseases, and persistence of these viruses in tonsils may stimulate chronic inflammation and play a role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
Measles Lymphadenopathy in a Child With PFAPA Syndrome
  • J. Terry, K. Brown, L. Tucker
  • Medicine, Biology
    Pediatric and developmental pathology : the official journal of the Society for Pediatric Pathology and the Paediatric Pathology Society
  • 2018
TLDR
Measles-type viral cytopathic effect was discovered on histological examination of tonsillar tissue after therapeutic tonsillectomy for PFAPA, and molecular testing showed the left tonsil was positive for measles RNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) while the righttonsil was inconclusive (weakly positive).
Measles Virus Infection and Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis
TLDR
Treatment with inosiplex and interferons may induce temporary stabilization or remission in about 30–35 % of the cases and immunization against measles virus and maintenance of immunization rates above 90 % in the population are of extreme importance for the prevention of these debilitating or fatal disorders.

Detection of common respiratory viruses in tonsillar tissue of children with obstructive sleep apnea
TLDR
Examination of tonsils for the presence of respiratory viruses' nucleic acids in children with OSA, and in children without OSA (undergoing surgery for recurrent throat infections (RI)).

Association of antibody to GB virus C (hepatitis G virus) with viral clearance and protection from reinfection.
TLDR
Anti-GBV-C is highly associated with viral clearance and protection from reinfection, and studies using RNA testing alone may significantly underestimate the occurrence of GBV- C infection.
Hepatitis G virus infection in children on dialysis and after renal transplantation
TLDR
A combination of the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and a new diagnostic test for antibodies against the viral envelope protein E2 was used to assess the prevalence of hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) infection in sera of Hungarian children on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, as well as insera of renal transplant patients (RTx).
Age‐specific prevalence and genetic diversity of GBV‐C/hepatitis G virus in Brazil
TLDR
The results suggest that sexual transmission of GBV‐C/HGV might occur and that the virus could be eliminated after a long period of infection.
Detection of measles virus genome in lymphocytes from asymptomatic healthy children
TLDR
It is concluded that asymptomatic measles infection is common but would rarely become a source of transmission because of negative PCR in NPS.
G Virus in the General Population and in Patients on Hemodialysis
TLDR
HGV is transmitted by blood transfusion and within the hemodialysis unit itself, and HGV does notseem to injure hepatocytes.
Detection and Sequencing of Measles Virus from Peripheral Mononuclear Cells from Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Autism
TLDR
Persistence of measles virus was confirmed in PBMC in some patients with chronic intestinal inflammation and sequences obtained from the patients with ulcerative colitis and children with autism were consistent with being vaccine strains.
Detection of Measles Virus mRNA from Autopsied Human Tissues
TLDR
Measles virus mutants commonly persist in apparently healthy individuals, and sequence analysis revealed frequent mutations in the corresponding viral protein.
Further evidence of the absence of measles virus genome sequence in full thickness intestinal specimens from patients with Crohn's disease
TLDR
The study supports previous findings produced by this laboratory and others using highly sensitive measles virus specific PCR diagnostic technology and systematically examined samples obtained at resection from patients with Crohn's disease.
