{"title":"Acute hepatitis C: changing epidemiology and association with HIV infection.","authors":"Nick Brejt,&nbsp;Yvonne Gilleece,&nbsp;Martin Fisher","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Over the past 6 to 7 years an increasing incidence of acute hepatitis C virus (AHCV) has been fuelled by two different changing epidemics: (1) a new resurgence of AHCV amongst intravenous drug users (IVDU); and (2) presumed sexually transmitted AHCV amongst predominantly HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Increasing incidence amongst IVDUs is likely to be a consequence of changing injecting behaviour, possibly related to changes in perception of HIV as well as HCV risk and consequences. Increasing incidence amongst MSM is likely to be a consequence of changing sexual practices, for example number of sexual partners and type of sexual behaviour, as well as increasing availability of recreational drugs associated with sexual risk-taking, and wider availability of casual sexual partners via the internet or sex-on-premises venues. It remains unclear whether the current outbreaks in MSM, predominantly seen in HIV-positive individuals, reflect a predisposition to AHCV secondary to HIV status per se, or whether this reflects differences in behaviour amongst HIV-positive versus HIV-negative MSM, or potentially increased screening (either routine or secondary to abnormal liver function tests) in HIV-positive MSM. The majority of individuals with AHCV are asymptomatic and therefore routine screening of individuals in at-risk groups with abnormal liver function tests should be considered. Previous historical studies suggest that individuals with concomitant HIV infection are far less likely than those without to spontaneously clear HCV. It is currently recommended that such individuals acutely infected with HCV should undergo monitoring of HCV viral load levels to determine whether spontaneous clearance is likely or whether the opportunity for early treatment should be considered.</p>","PeriodicalId":81665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV therapy","volume":"12 1","pages":"3-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26794915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Liver transplantation in HIV/hepatitis co-infection.","authors":"Jose M Miro,&nbsp;Fernando Aguero,&nbsp;Montserrat Laguno,&nbsp;Montserrat Tuset,&nbsp;Carlos Cervera,&nbsp;Asuncion Moreno,&nbsp;Juan-Carlos Garcia-Valdecasas,&nbsp;Antonio Rimola","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The prognosis of HIV infection has dramatically improved in recent years with the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy. Currently, liver disease is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality, even more so given the high rate of hepatitis C virus co-infection in countries where drug abuse has been an important HIV risk factor. Survival of HIV-co-infected patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) is poor and shorter than that of the non-HIV-infected population. One-year survival of HIV-infected patients with ESLD is only around 50-55%. HIV infection is no longer a contraindication to transplantation, which is becoming a standard therapy in most developed countries. The HIV criteria used to select HIV-infected patients for liver transplantation are quite similar in Europe and North America. Current criteria state that having had an opportunistic infection (e.g. tuberculosis, candidiasis, PCP) is not a strict exclusion criterion. However, patients must have a CD4 count above 100 cells/mm3 and a plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load that is suppressible with antiretroviral treatment. More than 200 orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) in HIV-infected patients have been published in recent years and the mid-term (3-year) survival was similar to that of HIV-negative patients. The main problems in the post-transplantation period are the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between antiretroviral and immunosuppressive agents and the recurrence of HCV infection, which is the principal cause of post-transplantation mortality. There are controversial results regarding mid-term survival of HIV-HCV co-infected patients compared with HCV mono-infected patients. However, one study showed a trend of poorer 5-year survival of HIV-HCV co-infected patients. There is little experience with the treatment of recurrent HCV infection. Preliminary studies showed rates of sustained virological response ranging between 15% and 20% in HIV-HCV co-infected recipients. Liver transplantation in HIV-HBV co-infected patients had a good prognosis because HBV recurrence can be successfully prevented using immunoglobulins and anti-HBV drugs. Finally, this field is evolving continuously and the indications for liver transplantation or the management of HCV co-infection may change in the future as more evidence becomes available.</p>","PeriodicalId":81665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of HIV therapy","volume":"12 1","pages":"24-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26794288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
