| [seroprevalence of hepatitis b virus and human immunodeficiency virus infection in a population of multiply-transfused patients in colombia]. | although the transfusion of blood products is a common therapy, it carries risk of transmission of infections, especially hepatitus b virus (hbv) and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). | 2009 | 20128348 |
| molecular characterization, distribution, and dynamics of hepatitis c virus genotypes in blood donors in colombia. | hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a frequent cause of acute and chronic hepatitis and a leading cause for cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. hcv is classified in six major genotypes and more than 70 subtypes. in colombian blood banks, serum samples were tested for anti-hcv antibodies using a third-generation elisa. the aim of this study was to characterize the viral sequences in plasma of 184 volunteer blood donors who attended the "banco nacional de sangre de la cruz roja colombiana, ... | 2010 | 20872715 |
| hepatitis c virus seroprevalence in multi-transfused patients in colombia. | hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a public health problem worldwide, with particular relevance in multi-transfused patients given that hcv is principally transmitted by exposure to infected blood. | 2005 | 16461238 |
