Background: Via hemodialysis, viral infections can be transmitted in patients a new definition of this infection with no increase in liver enzymes, negative HCV-PCR in serum and presence of virus in the liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) called occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (OCI). We decided to examine the prevalence of occult hepatitis C infection on hemodialysis cases.
Methods: The current research is a cross-sectional study on patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who were at three hemodialysis centers in Mazandaran province in Iran during 2012-2014.
Unlabelled: Background : Anti-CCP is a test commonly used for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic values of ACCP compared to anti-MCV in rheumatoid arthritis patients in north of Iran.
Methods: The serum samples of 150 RA patients and 75 controls, with the mean age of 49.
Introduction: Duration of treatment for brucellar spondylitis in endemic regions is controversial. This study describes the outcome of treatment in 50 cases of brucellar spondylitis in Iran.
Methodology: From April 2001 to September 2010, we treated 20, 13, 11 and 6 cases with doxycycline plus rifampin (DR), streptomycin plus doxycycline plus rifampin (SDR), cotrimoxazole plus doxycycline plus rifampin (CDR), and gentamicin plus doxycycline plus rifampin (GDR), respectively.
Background: Seroconversion of hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) to anti-HBe is associated with lower viral load and liver diseases.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the seroconversion rate of HBeAg to anti-HBe in children who acquired hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection during early childhood.
Study Design: From September 1990 to December 2010, 139 HBeAg-positive children were followed up.
Background: The level of HBsAg in some chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected individuals may decline over time so that it is not detectable in serum.
Objective: To assess the efficacy of HBV vaccine in those who lost their HBsAg without seroconverssion to anti-HBs antibody.
Patients And Methods: From April 1993 to December 2008, of 1603 chronic HBV-infected individuals, 34 (22 men and 12 women) became HBsAg-negative in follow-up visits, with no detectable anti-HBs antibody and HBV DNA in their sera.
Background: Infants born to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected mothers may be infected in spite of receiving passive-active immunoprophylaxis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of infants born to women actively infected by HBV.
Study Design: From April 2004 to September 2009, infants born to women actively infected by HBV received hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth.
Background: The standard agglutination (SAT) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) tests are usually used in the follow-up of treated cases of human brucellosis. The purpose of this study was to monitor the levels of these tests, two years after clinical cure in cases of brucellosis.
Methods: From April 2003 to September 2008, 175 clinically cured cases of brucellosis (103 males, 72 females) were evaluated.
This prospective study was conducted on 111 children with brucellosis, who attended the Department of Infectious Diseases, Babol, Iran, from September 1999 to March 2003. Fever (73.9%), sweating (67.
