DIABETES MELLITUS, INSULIN-DEPENDENT, 22; IDDM22

HEPATITIS C VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO

Alternate names

HEPATITIS C VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO Is also known as hcv, susceptibility to

Description

HCV, which is principally transmitted by blood, infects about 3% of the world's population. HCV infection causes acute hepatitis, which is self-resolving in 20 to 50% of cases but does not confer permanent immunity. In 50 to 80% of cases, HCV infection becomes chronic and results in chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. As a result, HCV infection is a leading killer worldwide and the most common cause of liver failure in the U.S. HCV is opportunistic in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; see {609423}), approximately 25% of whom are coinfected with HCV. HCV infection is also associated with cryoglobulinemia (see {123550}), a B-lymphocyte proliferative disorder (Pawlotsky, 2004; Chisari (2005); Pileri et al., 1998).

Most common symptoms of HEPATITIS C VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO

  • Immunodeficiency
  • Carcinoma
  • Cirrhosis
  • Hepatic failure
  • Hepatitis

WEST NILE VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO

Alternate names

WEST NILE VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO Is also known as wnv, susceptibility to

Description

WNV is an enveloped, neurotropic, single-stranded sense RNA flavivirus that is naturally maintained in a zoonotic cycle between avian hosts and mosquito vectors. The virus was first isolated from a Ugandan woman in 1937 and subsequently emerged in Europe and, in 1999, in New York, with eventual spread throughout North America. WNV causes a spectrum of disease ranging from acute fever to lethal encephalitis. Susceptibility to WNV is increased in the elderly and in immunocompromised individuals (summary by Diamond and Klein (2006) and Glass et al. (2005)).

Most common symptoms of WEST NILE VIRUS, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO

  • Pain
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Arthralgia
