MONACA, Pennsylvania (AP) State and federal health officials said Saturday that Pennsylvania's hepatitis A outbreak is winding down, even as the number of those infected climbed over 600. The investigation has shifted to how green onions linked to the outbreak became contaminated. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, met Saturday with Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state health officials at a community college near the Beaver County Chi-Chi's restaurant where the outbreak was first confirmed November 3. "We do feel like this particular outbreak has been successfully ended," Gerberding said, although the number of cases probably will rise over the next few days as lab test results come back.

Risko for almindelige turistrejser er ca. 1 per 50 rejsende per måned. Smitte Virus findes i tarmen hos mennesker og overføres gennem drikkevand og mad forurenet med afføring, fx. kloakvand. Vaccination eller gammaglobulin? Man kan beskytte sig mod smitsom leverbetændelse med gammaglobulin (kortvarig, højst 5 måneder) eller en vaccine (langtidsbeskyttelse, 20 år). Gammaglobulin er antistoffer oprenset fra plasma fra mennesker og giver kun en kortvarig beskyttelse. Gammaglobulin kan gives i tre doser på 2, 3 og 5 ml, der beskytter i 1, 3 og 5 måneder. Der har været en diskussion om sikkerheden ved gammaglobulin, fordi det er oprenset fra blod. Der er dog aldrig påvist at nogle sygdomme kan overføres med gammaglobulin til injektion, men teoretisk kan BSE overføres.

Back to Medical Writers' Circle Patients with Hepatitis C: Who Should Be Treated? Jenny Heathcote, MD University of Toronto One may wonder why this question is being asked, as surely if one has hepatitis C, and a treatment is available surely treatment would naturally be recommended? But unfortunately, although the success rates with anti viral therapy for chronic hepatitis C have improved markedly over the last ten years, a cure still cannot be achieved in everyone, the current therapies still carry with them many side effects and there are still many infected individuals who have contraindications to their use. So some judgment has to be exercised regarding who will benefit most from therapy and who may suffer untoward consequences of therapy that could shift the risk:benefit ratio in the wrong direction. Current Standard of Care for the Treatment of Hepatitis C The most effective anti viral therapy regimen is a combination of long acting, Pegylated Interferon alpha + the oral nucleoside analogue Ribavirin. A sustained virological response (SVR), which is defined as undetectability of HCV RNA in the blood both at the end of treatment and six months after cessation of therapy, occurs in 54-56% of individuals given this treatment. As with earlier forms of anti viral therapy, the response rate is very much dependant on the particular genotype of the Hepatitis C infection. Factors Influencing the Anti Viral Response As with all other anti viral therapies for hepatitis C, the particular genotype of the infecting virus has the greatest influence on the sustained virological response to therapy. In those individuals infected with genotype 1, the expected SVR ranges from 43-46% and in those with genotype 2 or 3 infections, from 76-82%. Other factors influencing this response include the height of the viral load (the higher the viral load, the lower the SVR), the severity of liver disease (individuals with cirrhosis have a somewhat lower overall response rate, 43-50%), and body habitus, the heavier the person, the lower the response rate.

Hepatitis Series : Chronic Hepatitis C Chronic Hepatitis C: Current Disease Management On this page: Introduction Risk Factors and Transmission Clinical Symptoms and Signs Serologic Tests ... Patient Education Materials Introduction The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States. It accounts for about 15 percent of acute viral hepatitis, 60 to 70 percent of chronic hepatitis, and up to 50 percent of cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and liver cancer. Almost 4 million Americans, or 1.8 percent of the U.S. population, have antibody to HCV (anti-HCV), indicating ongoing or previous infection with the virus. Hepatitis C causes an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 deaths annually in the United States. A distinct and major characteristic of hepatitis C is its tendency to cause chronic liver disease. At least 75 percent of patients with acute hepatitis C ultimately develop chronic infection, and most of these patients have accompanying chronic liver disease. Chronic hepatitis C varies greatly in its course and outcome. At one end of the spectrum are patients who have no signs or symptoms of liver disease and completely normal levels of serum liver enzymes. Liver biopsy usually shows some degree of chronic hepatitis, but the degree of injury is usually mild, and the overall prognosis may be good. At the other end of the spectrum are patients with severe hepatitis C who have symptoms, HCV RNA in serum, and elevated serum liver enzymes, and who ultimately develop cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. In the middle of the spectrum are many patients who have few or no symptoms, mild to moderate elevations in liver enzymes, and an uncertain prognosis.

For More Information Autoimmune hepatitis affects the liver. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks liver cells. This causes the liver to become inflamed (hepatitis). Researchers think a genetic factor may predispose some people to autoimmune diseases. About 70 percent of those with autoimmune hepatitis are women, most between the ages of 15 and 40. The disease is usually quite serious and, if not treated, gets worse over time. It's usually chronic, meaning it can last for years, and can lead to cirrhosis (scarring and hardening) of the liver and eventually liver failure. Top Autoimmune Disease One job of the immune system is to protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and other living organisms. Usually, the immune system does not react against the body's own cells. However, sometimes it mistakenly attacks the cells it is supposed to protect. This response is called autoimmunity. Researchers speculate that certain bacteria, viruses, toxins, and drugs trigger an autoimmune response in people who are genetically susceptible to developing an autoimmune disorder. Top Symptoms Fatigue is probably the most common symptom of autoimmune hepatitis. Other symptoms include

They have found a way to inject tiny molecules into the blood that switch off genes that play a vital role in the reproduction of the virus. The jabs have cut viral levels in infected animals by around 90%. The Nature Biotechnology study, by Sirna Therapeutics, raises hopes of new drugs to tackle the disease. It is interesting, but we are long, long way from clinical application Dr Mark Thursz Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is thought to be the leading cause of liver cancer. The World Health Organization estimates that hepatitis B infections lead to more than one million deaths every year. There are vaccines to protect against infection, but drug treatments are expensive and relatively ineffective.
