Methods: In total, 170 chronic HBV patients and 50 healthy controls of comparable age and gender were included in this case-control study. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging evaluations were conducted. ELISA was used to determine serum IL-6 levels, and TLR2 (rs3804099) genotyping allelic discrimination assay was performed using real-time PCR.

- The hepatitis C virus (HCV) presents a global health issue, particularly in Egypt where genotype 4a predominates; over 50% of patients exhibit extrahepatic manifestations (EHMs) such as mixed cryoglobulinemia, which can be initial indicators of the infection.
- The study focused on 450 treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients to assess the relationship between T-cell subpopulations and cryoglobulinemia occurrence, categorizing them based on cryoglobulin antibody tests.
- Findings revealed significant differences between groups: patients with cryoglobulin antibodies (Group B) were generally older, had longer HCV infection durations, and exhibited different lab result patterns compared to those without antibodies (Group A).
Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of illnesses, from skin infections and persistent bone infections to life-threatening septicemia and endocarditis. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common bacteria that cause nosocomial and community-acquired infections.

The work included 60 patients with A. duodenale infection (GI), 40 patients with other parasitic infections (GII) and 30 apparently healthy parasite-free controls (GIII).
