| etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in italian patients with and without cirrhosis. | we performed a case-control study to assess the role of hepatitis b virus (hbv), hepatitis c virus (hcv), gb virus c/hepatitis g virus (hgv), tt virus, alcohol intake, and tobacco smoking as risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in the presence or absence of cirrhosis. we prospectively recruited 174 patients with a first diagnosis of hcc admitted to the main hospitals in brescia, north italy. on the basis of histological, clinical, and radiological criteria, the presence of cirrhosis w ... | 2000 | 10698484 |

| hepatitis b and c virus infection, alcohol drinking, and hepatocellular carcinoma: a case-control study in italy. brescia hcc study. | we performed a case-control study to assess the association of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) with hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection and alcohol drinking. we recruited as cases 172 subjects with an initial diagnosis of hcc, who were admitted to the two major hospitals in the province of brescia, northern italy, and 332 subjects, sex-, age-, and hospital-matched, who were admitted to the departments of ophthalmology, dermatology, urology, cardiology, and internal medic ... | 1997 | 9303486 |
| prevalence of hepatitis c virus antibodies in hemodialysis patients in the area of milan. | we studied the seroprevalence of antibodies to hepatitis c virus (hcv ab) in a cohort of 229 chronic hemodialysis patients followed by 6 dialysis units in the milan area. hcv ab was present in 51 (22.3%) of 229 examined patients. previous blood transfusions and surgery did not clearly influence hcv seroconversion, whereas duration of dialysis treatment seems to be strictly related to hcv ab positivity. | 1992 | 1323769 |
| eligibility and feasibility of the treatment of chronic hepatitis c in a cohort of italian hiv-positive patients at a single hiv reference center. | chronic hepatitis c is frequent and aggressive among hiv-positive patients; evaluation for anti-hepatitis c virus (hcv)-specific therapy is mandatory, but it has many limitations, due to efficacy, tolerability but also applicability. the objective of our retrospective analysis was to evaluate the eligibility and feasibility of anti-hcv therapy in hiv/hcv-coinfected patients followed at the ii department of infectious diseases, l. sacco hospital, milan, italy, from 2000 to march 2010. in our data ... | 2011 | 21457054 |
| hierarchy of baby-linked immunogenetic risk factors in the vertical transmission of hepatitis c virus. | mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis c virus (hcv) represents the major cause of pediatric hcv infection today. immunogenetic influence has been poorly investigated and mainly confined to hla-class ii serological polymorphisms. among 290 parities, 135 from pavia and 155 from bergamo, of hcv-rna-infected italian women, 21 babies (7.24%) were hcv-rna positive at birth and steadily positive over 20 months of life. all the 21 infected babies and 44 randomly selected uninfected ones, born to hc ... | 2006 | 16831303 |
