  2. Hepatitis C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_C

    The response to treatment is measured by sustained viral response (SVR), defined as the absence of detectable RNA of the hepatitis C virus in blood serum for at least 24 weeks after discontinuing treatment, [112] and rapid virological response (RVR), defined as undetectable levels achieved within four weeks of treatment. Successful treatment ...

    Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.

  4. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammatory...

    In immunology, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory state affecting the whole body. [1] It is the body's response to an infectious or noninfectious insult . Although the definition of SIRS refers to it as an "inflammatory" response, it actually has pro- and anti-inflammatory components.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_hepatitis

    Viral hepatitis is liver inflammation due to a viral infection. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It may present in acute form as a recent infection with relatively rapid onset, or in chronic form, typically progressing from a long-lasting asymptomatic condition up to a decompensated hepatic disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

  6. Cytokine release syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

    In immunology, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that can be triggered by a variety of factors such as infections and certain drugs. [3] It refers to cytokine storm syndromes (CSS) [ 4 ] and occurs when large numbers of white blood cells are activated and release inflammatory cytokines ...

    PA genes code for the PA protein, which is a critical component of the viral polymerase. The PB1 gene codes for the PB1 protein and the PB1-F2 protein. The PB1-F2 protein probably contributes to viral pathogenicity and might have an important role in determining the severity of pandemic influenza.

  8. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisystem_inflammatory...

    One plausible chain of events leading up to a hyperimmune response could involve early viral triggering of macrophage activation, followed by T helper cell stimulation, in turn leading to cytokine release, stimulation of macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes, in conjunction with B cell and plasma cell activation, and autoantibody production.

  9. Shingles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles

    Shingles, also known as herpes zoster or zona, [6] is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a localized area. [2] [7] Typically the rash occurs in a single, wide mark either on the left or right side of the body or face. [1]
