Hepatitis C RNA in Huh7 liver cell lines was reduced by about 80% when the researchers inactivated miR-122. And with miR-122 active, viral RNA with mutations in the 5' noncoding region failed to ...

Maternal hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA titer > 10⁶ International Units (IU)/mL and antepartum bleeding are key predictors of perinatal transmission, with the risk ranging from 1.5% to 28.5%.

Researchers assessed epidemiologic trends of incident hepatitis C virus infection among patients with HIV infection engaged in care in the US.

After 5 months of a persistently raised ALT level and negative tests for anti-HCV antibodies, a qualitative HCV-RNA test was found to be positive. At this time, the patient was receiving 5.0 mg ...
