Inhibitors Targeting Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Entry
Mini Rev Med Chem. 2023;23(11):1193-1221. doi: 10.2174/1389557522666220428115152.ABSTRACTInfections caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affect around 70 million people worldwide, leading to serious liver problems, such as fibrosis, steatosis, and cirrhosis, in addition to progressing to hepatocellular carcinoma and becoming globally the main cause of liver disease. Despite great therapeutic advances in obtaining pan-genotypic direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), around 5-10% of affected individuals are unable to eliminate the virus by their own immune system's activity. Still, there are no licensed vaccines so far. In this c...

Can persistent infections with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human T- lymphotropic virus (HTLV) be eradicated?
AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2023 Jul 6. doi: 10.1089/AID.2022.0116. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPersistent viruses (PV) are hard to be eradicated, even using effective medications, and can persist for a long time in humans, sometimes regardless of treatment. Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infections, the most common in our era, is still a challenge despite the increased knowledge about their biology. Most of them are highly pathogenic, some causing acute disease or, more often, leading to chronic persistent infections, and so...

Health inequalities in infectious diseases: a systematic overview of reviews
Conclusion We identified many reviews that provide evidence of various types of health inequalities in different infectious diseases, vaccination, and antimicrobial resistance. We also highlight areas where reviews may be lacking. The commonalities in the associations and their directions suggest it might be worth targeting interventions for some high risk-groups that may have benefits across multiple infectious disease outcomes rather than operating purely in infectious disease siloes.

Viral hepatitis in persons living with HIV in the post-COVID era
AIDS Rev. 2023;25(1):1-13. doi: 10.24875/AIDSRev.M23000061.ABSTRACTCoinfection with hepatitis viruses A to E is frequent in persons living with HIV (PLWH) and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Oro-fecal transmissible hepatitis A and E mostly produce acute self-limited episodes in poor income regions and in non-vaccinated travelers. In high-income countries, outbreaks of hepatitis A occur in men having sex with men (MSM) and chronic hepatitis E is occasionally reported among PLWH with severe immunodeficiency. Chronic hepatitis B, C, and D are frequent in PLWH in highly endemic regions and globally in persons who i...
