Characterization of occult hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection among hemodialysis patient
The existence of new entity called occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a raising and escalating concern among healthcare professionals worldwide. It is defined by the presence of viral RNA in liver and/or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) within non HCV-infected patients. Previous...

| description | The existence of new entity called occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) has
become a raising and escalating concern among healthcare professionals worldwide. It
is defined by the presence of viral RNA in liver and/or peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs) within non HCV-infected patients. Previous study had shown the occult
HCV is infectious and capable of transmitting the virus to another host. Till today, HCV
infection remains common among hemodialysis patients despite having the best
preventive plans. Because of this, there is a significant concern about the source of viral
transmission. The aim of the study was to identify and characterize occult HCV infection
in PBMC sample of hemodialysis patients. This was an observational and cross sectional
study. |
