    • Clinical and histological impact of previous hepatitis B virus infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C 

      Carvalho-Filho, Roberto J. [UNIFESP]; Lucca Schiavon, Leonardo de [UNIFESP]; Narciso-Schiavon, Jana-na L. [UNIFESP]; Sampaio, Juliana P. [UNIFESP]; Lanzoni, Valeria P. [UNIFESP]; Gomes Ferraz, Maria L. [UNIFESP]; Benedito Silva, Antonio E. [UNIFESP] (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-01-01)
      Recent reports suggest that hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers with serological markers of prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have more advanced liver fibrosis, irrespective of HBV-DNA detection.We sought to assess the ...

    • HIV-GB virus C co-infection: an overview 

      Baggio-Zappia, Giovana Lotici [UNIFESP]; Hernandes Granato, Celso Francisco (Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2009-01-01)
      GB virus C (GBV-C) and hepatitis G virus (HGV) are two isolates of the same virus, independently identified in humans in the 1990s by two research laboratories, and were initially considered a potential cause of liver ...

    • Immune cellular parameters of leprosy and human immunodeficiency virus-1 co-infected subjects 

      Carvalho, Karina I. [UNIFESP]; Maeda, Solange [UNIFESP]; Marti, Luciana; Yamashita, Jane [UNIFESP]; Haslett, Patrick A. J.; Kallas, Esper Georges [UNIFESP] (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-06-01)
      Leprosy and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) are examples of human infections where interactions between the pathogen and the host cellular immunity determine the clinical manifestations of disease. Hence, a significant ...

    • Lower numbers of natural killer T cells in HIV-1 and Mycobacterium leprae co-infected patients 

      Carvalho, Karina I.; Bruno, Fernanda R.; Snyder-Cappione, Jennifer E.; Maeda, Solange M. [UNIFESP]; Tomimori, Jane [UNIFESP]; Xavier, Marilia B.; Haslett, Patrick A.; Nixon, Douglas F.; Kallas, Esper G. [UNIFESP] (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-05-01)
      Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a heterogeneous population of lymphocytes that recognize antigens presented by CD1d and have attracted attention because of their potential role linking innate and adaptive immune responses. ...

    • Optimized cutoffs improve performance of the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index for predicting significant liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus co-infection 

      Carvalho-Filho, Roberto J. [UNIFESP]; Schiavon, Leonardo L. [UNIFESP]; Narciso-Schiavon, Janaina L. [UNIFESP]; Sampaio, Juliana P. [UNIFESP]; Lanzoni, Valeria P. [UNIFESP]; Ferraz, Maria Lucia G. [UNIFESP]; Silva, Antonio Eduardo B. [UNIFESP] (Blackwell Publishing, 2008-04-01)
      Aim: To assess the diagnostic value of modified cutoffs for aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) to predict significant liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) ...
