Introduction: Diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection particularly its occult form requires monitoring and repeat serological and molecular studies. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible relation between the case of a family outbreak of hepatitis A and the finding that a member of this family was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B.
Methodology: A mother and her two sons, one previously diagnosed with chronic HBV infection, were hospitalized due to suspected acute hepatitis.
Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is common among dialysis patients and is usually diagnosed through lab tests due to the unique progression of the disease.
- A study was conducted with 93 dialysis patients to determine the accurate prevalence of HCV by testing for both anti-HCV antibodies and HCV RNA levels over time.
- Results showed a 20.6% prevalence of HCV, with longer dialysis duration linked to higher chances of being viremic, indicating that a dual testing approach could improve diagnosis in this patient group.
Background: The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic value of the basal estradiol (E2) and inhibin-B levels, the antral follicle count (AFC), and the clomiphene citrate challenge test (CCCT) of ovarian response in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), in an outcome with normal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.
Methods: Fifty-two patients undergoing IVF treatment were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for assessment of basal E2, FSH, and inhibin-B levels.
