Levels of 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase, bioactive 2-5A, and RNase L were measured in extracts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 15 individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) before and during therapy with the biological response modifier poly(I).poly(C12U) and were
Gene expression of key enzymes in 2 antiviral pathways (ribonuclease latent [RNase L] and RNA-regulated protein kinase [PKR]) was compared in 22 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), 10 patients with acute gastroenteritis, and 21 healthy volunteers. Pathway activation in the group of
The aim of this study was to prospectively assess health-related quality of life (HRQL) and severity of fatigue before, during and after antiviral therapy in HIV/HCV co-infected patients.
METHODS
59 HIV/HCV co-infected patients receiving pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (PEGIFN+RBV) in the
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifactorial disorder with many possible triggers. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and HHV-7 are two infectious triggers for which evidence has been growing. To understand possible causative role of HHV-6 in ME/CFS, metabolic and antiviral
This study aimed to characterize fatigue postinfection among study participants with a history of West Nile virus (WNV) infection and determine whether antiviral and pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated in those reporting prolonged fatigue. We found that 31% (44/140) of study
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of direct antiviral treatment on depression, anxiety, fatigue and quality of life in patients with chronic hepatitis C.Subjects included in study were treatment experienced and treatment naive chronic Introduction: Interferon (IFN)-free regimens for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C have shown high rates of sustained virological response (SVR) and improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the
Latent 2', 5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase activity, bioactive 2-5A and RNase L activity were measured in extracts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBC) before and during a randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of poly(I)-poly(C12U) in individuals with chronic
The elevated RNase L enzyme activity observed in some Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients may be linked to the low exercise tolerance and functional impairment that typify this disease. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if specific indicators of physical performance can predict
OBJECTIVE
Fatigue is the most frequent and often debilitating symptom of chronic hepatitis C. It is unclear whether successful therapy of hepatitis C leads to its clinical improvement. In the Virahep-C study, patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection were treated with peginterferon
BACKGROUND
Chronic active Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-infection is characterized by mononucleosis like symptoms including fatigue, lymphadenopathy and/or hepatosplenomegaly and serologic evidence for ongoing EBV replication. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) triggers several antiviral mechanisms in target
Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is an important mediator of antiviral immune responses. It is also used clinically in the treatment of hepatitis-C infection. Though effective, IFN-α-based therapies can often impair mood, motivation and cognition, which when severe can appear indistinguishable from major
BACKGROUND
This phase IIb study explored the antiviral activity and safety of the investigational CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonist aplaviroc (APL) in antiretroviral-naïve patients harbouring R5- or R5X4-tropic virus.
METHODS
A total of 191 patients were randomized 2:2:2:1 to one of three
