Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this work was to study the incidence, types, risk factors and causative organisms of bacterial infections in HCV Egyptian patients following Liver Transplantation. Moreover, to identify the emerging resistant strains and their proper antimicrobial therapy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This prospective descriptive study has been done at Tropical Medicine department in the period between January 2014 to November 2015.

After the approval of the scientific and ethical committee of Ain Shams University Hospital, Patients with HCV positive end stage liver disease (ESLD) eligible for liver transplantation Ain Shams Center for Organ Transplant (ASCOT); Ain Shams University, (fulfilling the inclusion criteria) were included in the current study. Forty five patients were recruited and each one was followed-up during a period of 3 months following transplantation.
