Transplanting hepatitis C virus–positive livers into hepatitis C virus–negative patients with preemptive antiviral treatment: A modeling study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Hepatology"
DOI: 10.1002/hep.29723
Abstract: Under current guidelines, hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐positive livers are not transplanted into HCV‐negative recipients because of adverse posttransplant outcomes associated with allograft HCV infection. However, HCV can now be cured post‐LT (liver transplant) using direct‐acting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hep.30123
Abstract: Currently, there are no interferon‐free treatments available for hepatitis C virus (HCV)–infected patients younger than 12 years. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the all‐oral regimen ledipasvir–sofosbuvir ± ribavirin in HCV‐infected children aged 6… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hep.30699
Abstract: Although adaptive immune responses against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have been studied in great detail, the role of innate immunity in protection against HCV infection and immune evasion is only partially understood. Interferon‐induced transmembrane… read more here.
