Hepatitis C Antibodies

04/01/2015 - "During follow-up period, 92 cases showed spontaneous clearance of HCV infection and more importantly 86 of 92 cases were positive for anti-HCV antibodies compared with 59 of 455 antibody positive cases with treatment-induced clearance of HCV infection (P<0.0001). "
01/01/2014 - "This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of RIBA testing to diagnose HCV infection in blood donors positive for anti-HCV antibodies. "
01/01/2010 - "The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of HCV antibodies (anti-HCV) in patients with HIV, the proportion and correlates of infection by different HCV genotypes, and rates of spontaneous resolution of HCV infection. "
01/01/1993 - "Second generation ELISAs detect a range of anti-HCV antibodies in chronic infections, and confirmatory RIBAs have reduced the incidence of false-positive results. "
01/01/2015 - "This study was undertaken to determine the seroprevalence of HBsAgs and anti-HCV antibodies and what socio-demographic factors are associated with sero-positivity of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections among pregnant women attending maternity ward of Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, northwest, Ethiopia. "

06/01/2000 - "Analyzing the records of the recipients that have so far been traced and identified revealed three periods: 1997 to 1995: three recipients were found to be positive for anti-HCV antibodies; two are now cured of hepatitis C. "
01/01/2005 - "This study evaluates the seroprevalence and risk factors for hepatitis C (HCV) antibodies in asymptomatic first-time blood donors in The Gambia. "
09/01/2013 - "This was to determine the sero-prevalence of hepatitis C viral (HCV) antibodies in pregnant women attending the first antenatal clinic and assess the epidemiologic correlates of women anti-HCV positive. "
09/01/2007 - "Of those screened, 6.0% (15/249) were positive for chlamydia and 12.7% (9/71) tested positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibodies. "
07/01/2006 - "Prospective study, anti-hepatitis C (anti HCV) antibodies were assessed in patients with TCRF in non-dialysis conservative therapy at the Department of Nephrology of the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital. "

01/01/1992 - "Testing for HCV antibodies in patients with autoimmune hepatitis frequently elicits positive results when the ELISA-I or ELISA-II tests are used. "
09/01/1992 - "Recent studies have shown that hepatitis C virus antibodies are present in a large proportion of patients with autoimmune hepatitis type 2. We have studied 83 patients with liver/kidney microsome antibody-positive type 1 hepatitis. "
01/01/1992 - "Previous investigations have shown an 80% prevalence of HCV antibodies in sera of patients suffering from post-transfusional chronic hepatitis non-A, non-B, but positive results were also obtained for 30 to 70% of sera from patients with chronic hepatitis B or autoimmune hepatitis. "
09/01/2002 - "Anti-HCV antibodies were found in 67% of patients with a history of intravenous drug abuse or autoimmune hepatitis, and in 10-30% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. "
03/01/1995 - "To address this issue, the immunophenotype of the inflammatory infiltrate in the liver of 18 patients with abnormal liver function tests and serologically detectable hepatitis C virus antibodies was compared with seven control patients (three cases with hepatitis B virus infection, two with alcoholic hepatitis, and one patient each with primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis). "

02/01/2006 - "Seven (16%) of 43 patients tested had hepatitis C virus antibodies, 1 (2%) of 45 had chronic hepatitis B, 3 (14%) of 22 had positive results of HIV serologic tests, 34 (71%) of 48 had alcohol use noted, and 33 (66%) of 50 were taking additional hepatotoxic medications. "
01/01/1992 - "Previous investigations have shown an 80% prevalence of HCV antibodies in sera of patients suffering from post-transfusional chronic hepatitis non-A, non-B, but positive results were also obtained for 30 to 70% of sera from patients with chronic hepatitis B or autoimmune hepatitis. "

09/01/2007 - "The low prevalence of Hepatitis BsAg (3.5%) and the inability to detect Hepatitis C antibodies deserve further study."
08/01/2003 - "The study was performed in all new patients with anti-HCV antibodies who had registered in a specialised viral hepatitis registry since 1994 and who lived in the French departments of Côte-d'Or and Doubs (1 005 817 inhabitants). "
01/01/1999 - "This study examined the prevalence of anti-hepatitis Bc virus (HBc) and anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies in a random sex- and age-stratified sample of 1006 individuals aged 25-64 years in the Seychelles. "
08/01/1993 - "The prevalence of hepatitis C antibodies (anti-HCV) among multitransfused patients was studied and compared with predicted values obtained from a post-transfusion hepatitis study and from data on the prevalence of anti-HCV among blood donors. "
01/01/2007 - "Our research EIA appears to detect HCV antibodies closer to the initiation of acute hepatitis. "
