Dysregulation of innate immunity in hepatitis C virus genotype 1 IL28B‐unfavorable genotype patients: Impaired viral kinetics and therapeutic response

Susanna Naggie, Anu Osinusi, Antonios Katsounas, Richard Lempicki, Eva Herrmann, Alexander J. Thompson, Paul J. Clark, Keyur Patel, Andrew J. Muir, John G. McHutchison, Joerg F. Schlaak, Martin Trippler, Bhavana Shivakumar, Henry Masur, Michael A. Polis, Shyam Kottilil – 13 February 2012 – Recent studies have shown that a single‐nucleotide polymorphism upstream of the interleukin‐28B (IL28B) gene plays a major role in predicting therapeutic response in hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐infected patients treated with pegylated interferon (PEG‐IFN)/ribavirin.

Safety of anidulafungin in solid organ transplant recipients

J.M. Aguado, E. Varo, P. Usetti, J.C. Pozo, A. Moreno, M. Catalán, O. Len, M. Blanes, A. Solé, P. Muñoz, M. Montejo, the TOSCANA Study Group – 12 February 2012 – The aim of this study was the evaluation of the safety of anidulafungin in adult solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients. During the study period (14 months), we included all consecutive SOT recipients from 14 centers who received anidulafungin for at least 48 hours for the treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) or as prophylaxis. Relevant clinical and analytical information on clinical charts was reviewed.

Hepatitis C virus selectively perturbs the distal cholesterol synthesis pathway in a genotype‐specific manner

Paul J. Clark, Alexander J. Thompson, David M. Vock, Lisa E. Kratz, Adviye A. Tolun, Andrew J. Muir, John G. McHutchison, Mani Subramanian, David M. Millington, Richard I. Kelley, Keyur Patel – 9 February 2012 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) subverts host cholesterol metabolism for key processes in its lifecycle. How this interference results in the frequently observed, genotype‐dependent clinical sequelae of hypocholesterolemia, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance (IR) remains incompletely understood.
