Performance of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Core Antigen Assay in the Diagnosis of Recently Acquired HCV Infection among High-Risk Populations

Hsin-Yun Sun et al.

Summary: The HCV core antigen assay has high specificity and negative predictive value but lower sensitivity and positive predictive value in diagnosing recent HCV infection in high-risk populations, particularly in individuals with low HCV RNA loads.

HCV core antigen plays an important role in the fight against HCV as an alternative to HCV-RNA detection

Yuhan Wang et al.

Summary: HCV-cAg testing has significant clinical relevance in the diagnosis and monitoring of HCV infection, showing advantages over HCV-RNA detection. It can help detect infections earlier and evaluate the efficacy of antiviral drugs.

A Tale of Two Viruses: Immunological Insights Into HCV/HIV Coinfection

Samaa T. T. Gobran et al.

Summary: Coinfection of HIV and HCV significantly impacts disease progression, leading to higher viral loads and accelerated liver fibrosis progression. While DAA can cure nearly 95% of coinfected individuals, little is known about the effects on immune reconstitution and HIV reservoir.
