Hepatitis C virus infection and interferon treatment may be associated with retinopathy but visual function is generally unaffected. This paper reports the rare occurrence of unilateral macular edema with visual loss. We present an interventional case report with fundus photograph and optical
Background: New direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)-based anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies are highly effective in patients with HCV infection. However, safety data are lacking regarding HCV treatment with DAAs and drugs for
The patient is a 42-year-old male with a past medical history of HIV/AIDS (his most recent CD4 count, four months before admission, was 19) and hepatitis C who presented to the Emergency Department complaining of one week of persistent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. His admit labs were as follows:
The histopathologic distinction between posttransplantation fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis C (FCH-C) and biliary obstruction (BO) is challenging. We sought to identify histopathologic features that could be useful in the differential diagnosis between these 2 entities. A total of 38 cases of
OBJECTIVE
Chronic HCV (hepatitis C virus) infection is recognized as the major cause of mixed cryoglobulinemia. Cryoglobulins continually precipitate and form deposits on the vascular endothelium of small to medium-sized blood vessels, which may progress to vasculitic syndrome.
METHODS
A 44-year-old
Hepatitis C wirus is one of the major blood-born pathogens of huge epidemic value. Due to its easy transmission, lack of routinely pursued tests and long non-symptomatic period makes it crucial to be alert for all co-morbidites suggesting HCV infection. Consequently to reduce its farther
This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy presenting with a history of oliguria and anasarca. Workup revealed marked proteinuria to the tune of 8 g/day. He was subsequently found to be hepatitis C positive. Genotype was hepatitis C virus type 6. Renal biopsy revealed mesangioproliferative
BACKGROUND
Retinopathy is associated with the use of interferon and ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Common ocular complications include cotton wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, and macular edema.
METHODS
A 53-year-old black man with a history of drug and alcohol abuse was admitted
Interferon Alfa retinopathy usually presents as cotton wool spots, superficial hemorrhages and macular edema. We describe a rare case of severe retinopathy involving hard exudates at macula that lead to permanent visual loss in one eye. Elderly male presented with diminution of vision in right eye
To evaluate the anatomical and functional retinal complications of combined sofosbuvir and ribavirin therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV).Three hundred patients with chronic HCV were recruited for this prospective, observational study We reported a case of type II cryoglobulinemia involving glomerulopathy associated with HCV-induced liver cirrhosis. The patient was a 57-year-old woman. Her past history included chronic hepatitis at 51 years and rheumatoid arthritis at 53 years of age. At 46 years, an erythematous lesion appeared
METHODS
A possible association between hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) or membranous glomerulonephritis has recently been reported. The pathogenesis of this entity appears to be immunologically mediated. The purpose of this report is to describe
Thirteen years ago, a 65-year-old woman was diagnosed to have chronic active hepatitis with hepatitis C virus. After starting interferon alpha administration, she noticed edema and hypoalbuminemia. Renal biopsy revealed mesangial proliferation with focal endocapillary proliferation, and double
Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir has become the current standard of care for hepatitis C since its release in 2014. Therefore, potential adverse effects are important to identify.To report findings of uveitis after treatment with ledipasvir-sofosbuvir for hepatitis OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence and type of posterior segment complications associated with the use of interferon alpha 2b and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
METHODS
A prospective noncomparative case series.
METHODS
Forty-two patients (84 eyes).
METHODS
Patients with chronic
