azathioprine and Hepatitis, Viral, Human

azathioprine has been researched along with Hepatitis, Viral, Human in 43 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Hepatitis, Viral, Human: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).

"We describe a case of a young man with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) following Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, in whom a long follow-up showed favourable outcome with complete clinical recovery and failure to relapse after cessation of immunosuppressive therapy."1.35Autoimmune hepatitis following Epstein-Barr virus infection. ( Cabibi, D, 2008)
"Two patients presented cutaneous varicella complicated by pneumonia and esophagitis respectively, one patient had cutaneous herpes zoster and the other had fatal pneumonia possibly caused by the Herpesvirus."1.32[Opportunistic infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease undergoing immunosuppressive therapy]. ( Bernal, I; Cabré, E; Domènech, E; García-Planella, E; Gassull, MA, 2003)

"In comparison, the patients with chronic persistent hepatitis showed a range of 5."1.27Persistent elevation of the aminoterminal peptide of procollagen type III in serum of patients with acute viral hepatitis distinguishes chronic active hepatitis from resolving or chronic persistent hepatitis. ( Annoni, G; Cargnel, A; Colombo, M; Hahn, EG, 1986)
"Azathioprine was responsible for some episodes of acute cholestasis but could not be incriminated as a direct cause of chronic disease."1.26Etiology of liver disease in renal-transplant patients.
