Avatar m tn Current therapies for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) do not achieve sustained viral clearance in most patients, and are associated with severe toxic effects. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy and safety of etanercept as adjuvant to interferon and ribavirin in treatment-naive patients with HCV. METHODS: Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial.
Avatar n tn Can a perispinal etanercept injection help heal severe pain linked to the piriformous muscle?
Avatar m tn Can anyone tell me if peri spinal etanercept works ? I have had four back surgeries since 2000. The last two were for decompression of the L-4, L-5 and S-1 nerve roots. My third surgery was performed in January 2011 and the last one in July 2012. I am still having pain around my right hip, left calf , left ankle and left foot. MRI and CT Myloegram do not show anything. Help !
Avatar f tn Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus. This means blood infected with the hepatitis C virus must enter the blood stream of an uninfected person.
Avatar m tn //www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/c/cfaq.htm ___________________ As the number of people realizing they have HCV continues to rise, so does the concern of how they were originally infected with this disease. Since medical experts agree that Hepatitis C is only transmitted through the blood, a majority of cases are contracted through IV drug use or tainted blood transfusions. However, an estimated 10 percent of those infected cannot determine how they contracted Hepatitis C in the first place.

Avatar m tn //www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/cfaq.htm#B1 Hepatitis C infected blood needs to enter the blood stream of an uninfected person. You would need an open fresh wet injury as would the other person. Assuming the other person is infected with hepatitis c their blood must get into your blood stream.

If its confirmed that he has no viral load then your husband doesn't have Hepatitis C. If you test positive for Hepatitis C antibodies…. you will test positive for the rest of your life.
Avatar m tn My wife is a healthcare worker for many years and recently diagnosised with hepatitis C, first of all she is afraid to tell the people she is employed with that she is sick, afraid of they will dismiss her from her job, we know she contracted it from her occupation. Second the Dr.
Avatar f tn I have not heard from an authoritive source that it is possible to be antibody negative for hepatitis C and have been infected.Quite the opposite in fact.I have observed this man's activities since 2000 and could entertain you for hours with details of the inconsistincies,changes of story and astonishing opportunism he has exhibted.I did challenge him head to head by email long ago but he was capable only of ranting.
Avatar m tn Hi there. Just been something nagging me about Hepatitis C. I understand that it is quite difficult to catch through sexual activities. However, I had an encounter with somebody about a year ago that gave me some worry. I performed oral sex on her but later realised that I had a sore in my mouth. I had various STD tests a couple of months later including Hep C that all proved to be negative. However, I have recently learned that it can take up to 6 months for Hepatitis C to be detected.
