Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is linked to severe liver issues, including cirrhosis and liver cancer, especially in patients who are also infected with HIV, where disease progression is faster.
- A study in Ibadan, Nigeria examined HCV genetic variants among HIV/HCV co-infected individuals, analyzing 125 samples and successfully sequencing 13 of them.
- The results showed that most isolates belonged to subtype 5a, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring of these patients and suggesting further research into HCV variants in different regions of Nigeria.
