   Abstract : In this study we evaluated pathogenetic factors and possible mediators of renal and systemic disorders where immunologic mechanisms might be of importance.An abberant immunoglobulin and IgG-subclass distribution was detected in 103 patients with primary and secondary glomerulonephritis as well as in 38 patients with the systemic disease primary Sjögren 's syndrome or purpura hypergammaglobulinemica (elevated IgG1 and low IgG2 ).

   Abstract : GBV-C/HGV is a blood-borne virus related to the hepatitis C virus. We studied GBV-C/HGV infection in different populations, its transmission, and its association with liver disease. GBV-C/HGV viraemia was detected by PCR in 19/576 blood donors. Donors with normal and elevated ALT levels had similar rates of viraemia (1. READ MORE

6. 4. Immune modulation in chronic HBV and HCV infection

   Author : Catharina Hultgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

   Abstract : Chronic viral hepatitis is a major health problem worldwide. The two major viral causes for chronic hepatitis are the hepatitis B (HBV) and C viruses (HCV). HBV is a DNA virus with a rather limited genetic variability whereas HCV is an RNA virus with a high genetic variability. READ MORE

7. 5. HIV/HCV co-infection in Sweden : epidemiology, HCV treatment and the importance of IL28B gene polymorphism

   Author : Jenny Stenkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Liver disease, mainly due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, is a leading cause of death in HIV positive patients with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). HCV treatment, which can prevent long-term complications of HCV infection, is available. Despite this, only a minority of HIV/HCV co-infected patients initiate HCV treatment. READ MORE
