A new study shows
that adults coinfected with both HIV and hepatitis C
are much more likely to develop liver disease or die from
liver-related complications than patients infected
only with HIV or only with HCV, Reuters Health
reports. Researchers from Pennsylvania, writing in the
American Journal of Gastroenterology, report
studying nearly 750 patients for three years--265 with
HIV-HCV coinfection, 251 with only hepatitis C, and
227 with only HIV. The discovered that patients with
only HIV or only HCV were one third as likely to die
from liver complications as those with HIV-HCV coinfection.
"HCV-HIV coinfection is associated with worsened liver
disease and higher mortality," the researchers
conclude in the journal. (The Advocate)
