Serological markers of autoimmunity in children with hepatitis A: relation to acute and fulminant presentation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26062080 Abdel-Ghaffar TY, Sira MM, Sira AM, Salem TA, El-Sharawy AA, El Naghi S. Serological markers of autoimmunity in children with hepatitis A: relation to acute and fulminant presentation. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015 Oct; 27(10):1161-9 Abstract OBJECTIVES: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection tends to be a self-limiting disease without serious sequelae, but fulminant hepatitis, with a high mortality, develops in 0.1-0.2% of the cases. Sometimes, HAV infection precipitates autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We aimed to assess the frequency and clinical significance of serologic markers of autoimmunity during hepatitis A infection with an acute or fulminant presentation compared with those in AIH.

Hepatitis B Virus Revaccination With Standard Versus Pre-S Vaccine in Previously Immunized Patients With Celiac Disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Oct; 61(4):400-3. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have suggested that hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines may be less immunogenic in individuals with celiac disease (CD). A pre-S vaccine (Sci-B-Vac) has demonstrated superior immunogenicity compared with standard HBV vaccines in several diseases. We compared the short-term immunogenicity of a pre-S vaccine with a HBV vaccine (Engerix B) for repeat vaccination of seronegative, previously immunized patients with CD.

Hepatitis C in Children Co-infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Oct; 61(4):393-9. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The objective of this systematic review was to summarize evidence regarding hepatitis C in hepatitis C virus/human immunodeficiency virus (HCV/HIV)-co-infected children focusing on mother-to-child transmission, clinical and laboratory features, outcome, and therapies. METHODS: A literature search was performed using multiple keywords and standardized terminology in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases dating back to their inception up to April 1, 2015, using the following terms hepatitis C virus, HIV, and child.

Jauregui-Amezaga A, Rimola J, Ordás I, Rodríguez S, Ramírez-Morros A, Gallego M, Masamunt MC, Llach J, González-Suárez B, Ricart E, Panés J. Value of endoscopy and MRI for predicting intestinal surgery in patients with Crohn's disease in the era of biologics. Gut. 2015 Sep; 64(9):1397-402. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Severe endoscopic lesions (SEL) in patients with colonic Crohn's disease (CD) have been linked to higher risk of colectomy. The aims of this study were to reassess the predictive value of colonoscopy compared against MRI for requirement of resection surgery in patients with CD and determine the influence of current therapeutic options.
