The course of hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation.

Hepatitis C virus-induced liver disease is becoming a main indication for liver transplantation. Recurrence of hepatitis after transplantation has been reported, but its long-term consequences are unknown. Seventy-nine patients positive for hepatitis C virus (group 1) and 106 subjects negative for hepatitis C virus antibody (group 2) with a mean follow-up of 4 yr were retrospectively studied by means of serology, nested polymerase chain reaction and branched-DNA technology before and after liver transplantation. The actuarial rates of hepatitis C virus-related acute hepatitis were 72% and 20% at 4 yr in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Progression to chronic active hepatitis occurred in 61% and 36% of the subjects within 3 yr of the onset of recurrent and acquired hepatitis, respectively. No case of acute graft failure and two cases of cirrhosis were related to recurrent or acquired hepatitis C virus liver disease. Hepatitis C virus RNA levels were significantly increased in cases of hepatitis after transplantation. In contrast, the pretransplant hepatitis C virus RNA level was not predictive of recurrence. Our results establish the general persistence of hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation, the frequency and the severe course of recurrent liver disease. However, liver transplantation in hepatitis C virus antibody-positive patients still has a good medium-term prognosis.

[Ectopic prostatic polyp in the bladder. Report of 2 cases].

An ectopic prostatic polyp situated in the bladder is a rare cause of terminal haematuria. The authors present an extensive review of the literature concerning this lesion which must be recognised not only by histologists, responsible for establishing the diagnosis, but also by urologists, who must be aware of its benign nature.

[Is it useful to isolate a chromophobe cell variant among carcinomas of the kidney?].

Chromophobe cell carcinoma is a little known variety of renal cell carcinoma representing 7 to 9% of all renal tumors. This tumor is confused with either clear cell carcinoma (clear subvariety) or oncocytoma (eosinophilic subvariety). Until ultrastructural and prospective studies of the prognosis of this tumor become available, it already seems important to perform colloidal iron staining to establish the differential diagnosis between oncocytoma and chromophobe cell carcinoma.
