Comparison of Three Different Methods for Detection of IL28 rs12979860 Polymorphisms as a Predictor of Treatment Outcome in Patients with Hepatitis C Virus
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease. The long-term impact of HCV infection is variable, ranging from minimal histological changes to extensive fibrosis and cirrhosis with or without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The number of chronically infected persons worldwide is estimated to be 160 million (2.35% of the world population), but most are unaware of their infection [1].

Comparison of three different methods for the detection of IL28 rs12979860 polymorphisms as treatment predictor factor for the hepatitis C virus
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the powerful causes of chronic liver disease. The long-time impact of HCV infection is highly variable, ranging from minimal histological changes to extensive fibrosis and cirrhosis with or without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The number of chronically infected persons worldwide is estimated to be about 160 million (2.35% of the world population), but most are uninformed of their infection [1].

To Be Imported or to Be Endemic? That is the Question
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by the environmental anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei. Melioidosis is endemic to areas of northern Australia and Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam [1]. B. pseudomallei dwells in soil and water, and is transmitted via percutaneous inoculation, inhalation, or the ingestion of infected food or water. Consequently, individuals in regular contact with soil and water are frequently affected [2]. (Source: Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives)
