Carriers of hepatitis C: should they all be vaccinated for hepatitis A?
In persons younger than 40 years, the proportion of seronegative individuals is similar to that in the general population. Vaccination should be considered for all patients positive for HCV infection. In persons older than 40 years with chronic liver disease, the decision to vaccinate for HAV should be made in the light of serological findings.
These results are suggestive of increased osteoclastic stimuli driven by the SLE disease mechanisms.
