ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Egypt has high Tuberculosis (TB), Hepatitis C (HCV) prevalence and intermediate Hepatitis B (HBV) prevalence with unclear Dug Induced liver injury (DILI) risk in chronic viral hepatitis patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate DILI incidence in tuberculous patients suffered from viral hepatitis co-infection compared to non hepatitis patients. METHODS: Newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patients under TB therapy were evaluated none ...

ackground Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. A gold standard for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is lacking. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic utility of the QuantiFERON-Tuberculosis Gold (QFT-G) test with the tuberculin skin test (TST) in identifying LTBI in patients with end-stage renal ...

ABSTRACT Approximately 60 - 85% of HCV infections cannot eradicate the virus and progress to chronic hepatitis, this may be explained by failure in host immune responses or by the ability of HCV to defeat host defense mechanisms. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) may play an immunomodulatory role. This work intended to evaluate the relationship of MBL concentration to chronic HCV infection. ...

Introduction Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and life‑threatening complication of cirrhosis. Several large studies have identified additional risk factors for the development of SBP. Zinc deficiency has been found to be frequent in cirrhotic patients. Aim of the work The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency, possible risk factors and the role of zinc ...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is one of the potentially life-threatening complications in ascetic cirrhotic patients. The improved survival might be explained by a more rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Our aim is to evaluate the combined use of a leucocyte esterase strip together with ascetic fluid lactoferrin antibodies for rapid and accurate diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis ...
