Fallbericht eines falsch-positiven Hepatitis C-Virus-diagnostischen Befundes mit weitreichenden Folgen Case report on a false positive hepatitis C diagnostic result with far-reaching consequences

Zusammenfassung

Im vorliegenden Fall wird von einer Fehldiagnose auf der Grundlage eines falsch-reaktiven Anti-HCV-Tests und eines falsch-reaktiven HCV-Nukleinsäureamplifikationstests (NAT) berichtet, die bei einem 58-jährigen chirurgischen Oberarzt im Rahmen einer arbeitsmedizinischen Vorsorgeuntersuchung im krankenhauseigenen Labor gestellt wurde und zu einem knapp zweimonatigen Berufsverbot führte...

Screening for genetic heterogeneity in the interferon sensitivity determining region of the hepatitis C virus genome by polymerase chain reaction with melting curve analysis

Background: Although mutations in the interferon (IFN) sensitivity determining region (ISDR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been reported to be useful as a predictive viral factor for IFN therapy in patients infected with HCV-1b, such laboratory research has not been favorably translated into the clinic...
