Episodic low-level viraemia does not influence prognosis in cirrhosis

17 Feb 2022

Among untreated patients with compensated cirrhosis, episodic low-level viraemia (LLV) is not associated with a higher risk of disease progression relative to maintained virological response (MVR) status, reveals a recent study. Consequently, the benefits of antiviral therapy (AVT) for episodic LLV must be re-evaluated.

Histologic scoring system as good as peak eosinophil count in eosinophilic esophagitis

17 Feb 2022

The eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) histologic scoring system (HSS) displays high responsiveness and similar performance to peak eosinophil count (PEC), reports a study. In addition, EoE-HSS is more highly associated with changes in overall histologic activity.
