December 2017
Purpose: To report data of samples collected from January 2000 to August 2013, in the Department of Diagnosis and Laboratory Analysis, Ophthalmic Hospital, Turin, Italy, from different types of ocular infections and their antibiotic susceptibility.
Methods: Collected samples were cultured using both liquid and solid media. Then bacterial isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility using the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) serum standards.
Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause extrahepatic issues like reactive arthritis, vasculitis, and different types of glomerulonephritis, but there are no specific histological patterns linked to Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections.
- For HBV-related kidney problems, antiviral treatment is the main approach; corticosteroids are generally ineffective (except for panarteritis nodosa), and immunosuppressants risk worsening HBV.
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can induce cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, and its treatment may involve a mix of immunomodulatory agents and antiviral therapy.
