Close clustering of Polish strains suggests the presence of compartmentalized epidemics of MSM that fuel the spread of G1a variants. Particularly patients with AHC form a national transmission network, including clusters enriched with the NS3 Q80K polymorphism.
Presence of NS5A RAVs correlated with progression of liver fibrosis and represents de novo selection of variants rather than transmission of drug resistance. Hence, the presence of NS5A RAVs may be a predictor for a long-lasting HCV infection.
COVID-19 disease is currently an extremely difficult problem for healthcare systems in Poland and in the world. The growing number of infections makes one suspect that the incidence of COVID-19 cases will also increase in the population of pregnant women. The article presents case reports of two patients with positive results of the SARS-CoV-2 test and a literature review on COVID-19 during pregnancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
