4. Decline in hepatitis B and C prevalence among hemodialysis patients in Tocantins, Northern Brazil
ABSTRACT Infection control measures have been responsible for a decline in the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in hemodialysis patients. In Brazil, these measures have been in place since 1996. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current HBV and HCV epidemiology among hemodialysis patients in the State of To

8. Busca de fatores genéticos associados à resposta ao tratamento do HCV genótipo 3. / Search for genetic factors associated with treatment response in HCV genotype 3.
Recentemente estudos demonstraram que os SNPs (polimorfismos de base única) rs8099917 e rs12979860 localizados próximos ao gene da IL28B explicam a variação de resposta à infecção e tratamento do paciente contra o genótipo 1 do HCV, porém não para o genótipo 3 deste vírus. Este trabalho encontrou associação significativa entre resposta à infec

12. Epidemiology of HIV/HCV coinfection in patients cared for at the Tropical Medicine Foundation of Amazonas
The association of HIV infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection often occurs because both viruses share the same transmission routes, increasing the possibility of HIV/HCV coinfection. World prevalence greater than 30% of coinfected cases is estimated, and it can reach 90% depending on the transmission route. With the aim of determining the frequency
