| clinical and virological characteristics of hepatitis b or c virus co-infection with hiv in indonesian patients. | hepatitis virus-related liver disease increases substantially the mortality rate of patients with hiv on highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart). therefore, early diagnosis of hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) is important. however, the prevalence of hbv and hcv infection in indonesian patients infected with hiv is unknown. therefore, this study examined the molecular and clinical characteristics of hbv and hcv in 126 patients infected with hiv, mostly on haart, at dr. sar ... | 2012 | 22499006 |
| hepatitis b and c virus infection among hemodialysis patients in yogyakarta, indonesia: prevalence and molecular evidence for nosocomial transmission. | hemodialysis patients are at an increased risk of acquiring hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection. however, the prevalence of hepatitis viral infection and its genotype distribution among hemodialysis patients in indonesia are unclear. in order to investigate these issues and the possibility of nosocomial transmission, 161 hemodialysis patients and 35 staff members at one of the hemodialysis unit in yogyakarta, indonesia, were tested for serological and virological marker ... | 2013 | 23919229 |
| hepatitis b virus subtypes and hepatitis c virus genotypes in patients with chronic liver disease or on maintenance hemodialysis in indonesia. | hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) rna were surveyed in patients in yogyakarta, indonesia, and their subtypes and genotypes were determined by serological methods and polymerase chain reaction with type-specific primers, respectively. of 149 patients with chronic liver disease including 24 with chronic hepatitis, 86 with liver cirrhosis, and 39 with primary hepatocellular carcinoma, hbsag was detected in 40 (27%) and hcv rna in 48 (32%); one patient was positive both ... | 1994 | 8083667 |
