The present and future disease burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with today's treatment paradigm.

A. Sibley, +127 more
TL;DR: The current treatment rate and efficacy are not sufficient to manage the disease burden of hepatitis C virus and alternative strategies are required to keep the number of HCV individuals with advanced liver disease and liver‐related deaths from increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies to manage hepatitis C virus infection disease burden - Volume 3

Faleh Z. Al-Faleh, +126 more
TL;DR: A 90% reduction in total HCV infections within 15 years is feasible in most countries studied, but it required a coordinated effort to introduce harm reduction programmes to reduce new infections, screening to identify those already infected and treatment with high cure rate therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Occult Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Egyptian Patients Who Achieved a Sustained Virologic Response to Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents

TL;DR: The presence of Occult HCV infection (OCI) was significantly correlated with age, level of AFP, and the degree of liver stiffness; and monitoring and follow-up of those patients may help to assess the outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate of Epstein-Barr Virus in Gastric Adenocarcinoma in Egyptian Patients in View of the WHO Classification and Correlation with p16 Immunoreactivity

TL;DR: EBVaGC has a low incidence in Egypt; loss of p16 expression was recognized in EB VaGC and could be considered as a promising biomarker of EBVaGC and the combination of the two methods IHC and qPCR in addition to p16 is recommended for improving the accuracy of identification of infected cancer.
