Alcohol impairs the body's ability to fight off viral infection, study finds

sciencedaily.com — “Alcohol can worsen the effects of disease. New research shows that alcohol modulates the anti-viral and inflammatory functions of monocytes. Prolonged alcohol consumption has a double negative effect of reducing the anti-viral effect of Type 1 interferon (IFN) whilst increasing inflammation via the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF±. Consequently this may impair host response to single-stranded virus infection like hepatitis C.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Severity of hepatitis C and HIV co-infection in mothers contribute to HCV transmission to child

eurekalert.org — “New research shows that high maternal viral load and co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are the only risk factors associated with vertical transmission of the hepatitis C virus (HCV-VT). A variation in the infant's IL28B gene is associated independently with the spontaneous clearance of HCV genotype-1 among infected children. Findings are published in the May issue of Hepatology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.View full resource at eurekalert.org
