Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol
January 2008
Aim: Endoscopic sphincterotomy is an efficient means of treating sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD), but it is associated with a morbidity rate of 20%. The aim of this study was to assess how frequently endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed to treat SOD in a group of patients with a 1-year history of medical management.
Methods: A total of 59 patients, who had been cholecystectomized 9.
Introduction: Chronic viral C hepatitis can be cured by shorter treatment than recommended. It is illustrated by our two case reports.
Cases: We report two cases of chronic viral C hepatitis cured by short therapy with interferon standard alone in one case and the combination of pegylated-interferon and ribavirin in the second case.
Introduction: Hepatitis E virus is endemic in developing countries where it is especially lethal among pregnant women. As the circulation of goods and people grows between these countries and the industrialized nations, this virus is emerging as a cause of imported acute hepatitis in the latter, where authentic autochthonous cases also exist.
Observations: We report two cases observed in Marseille, in men aged 27 and 81 years; no mode of contamination was detected, and both outcomes were positive.
