We investigated the effect of β-herpesviruses on allograft failure and mortality, hepatitis C
virus (HCV) replication, and liver histologic characteristics among 92 HCV-infected liver …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been proposed to have immunomodulatory effects in transplant
recipients and may promote herpesvirus reactivation. To assess this, we compared the …

Abstract Recurrence of Hepatitis C (HCV) post‐liver transplantation (LT) is universal and its

we conducted a prospective study to see if the same applied to human herpesviruses (HHV) …

Abstract Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection has been recently reported in liver
transplant patients. HHV-6 is closely related to cytomegalo-virus (CMV), and some …
