A study of hepatitis delta virus infection in patients with acute and chronic liver disease from northern India.

abstract：:The Fas / Fas-ligand (FasL) system is an important death signal pathway in the liver. An enhanced local inflammatory response prompted by FasL expression, which contributes to neutrophil recruitment and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) release, seems to be crucial to chronic liver damage, persistence of viral infections,...

abstract：AIM:Elevated body mass index (BMI) in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been associated with reduced rates of sustained virological response (SVR). The aims of this study were to determine whether early viral kinetics (and subsequently SVR) are influenced by weight or BMI by measuring HCV RNA at week 4 using two PCR assays...
