THE SIGNIFICANCE OF QUANTITIES DETECTION OF СORE ANTIGEN IN BLOOD SERUM OF CHILDREN WITH HEPATITIS C

The clinical and pathogenetic significance of determining HCV core-antigen (HCV core-Ag) in serum of children with hepatitis C was investigated firstly. A direct correlation between the concentration of HCV core-Ag and viral load (VL) was revealed (r = 0,91). Children with high core-Ag (above 2500 f...

Description
Summary:The clinical and pathogenetic significance of determining HCV core-antigen (HCV core-Ag) in serum of children with hepatitis C was investigated firstly. A direct correlation between the concentration of HCV core-Ag and viral load (VL) was revealed (r = 0,91). Children with high core-Ag (above 2500 fmol/L) showed indirect evidence for the immunosuppressive action of HCV core-Ag and occurrence of liver fibrosis more frequent (p < 0,05). In this grouP of children the prevalence of HCV subtype 3a was revealed (p < 0,05).
