Document Language : English 
Abstract : Objectives: To evaluate the relative magnitude of change in indices of hemostatic disequilibria, immune response, and trace element disbalance in selected cases with vasculitis to delineate the impact of mixed hepatitis HBV/HCV coinfection and past history of schistosomiasis (PHS). Study Design: Thirty HCV cases with vasculitis volunteered to participate in this study. They were classified into three groups on the bases of the presence of records of PHS with present HBs Ag (Group I), presence of HBs Ag with no records of PHS (Group II) and undetected HBs Ag with no records of PHS (Group III). A normal group of 10 healthy subjects was included (Group VI). Evaluation of serum plasminogen activator inhibitor "PAI-I", thrombin-antithrombin "TAT", von Willebrand factor "vWF", tumor necrosis factor-α "TNF-α" and its receptor “TNFR-P75” besides serum selenium, copper and zinc levels were performed. Results and Conclusion: changes in assessed parameters elaborated higher magnitude of change imposed by HBsAg coinfection in HCV cases with PHS delineating a relative impact of complex interactions in cases with vasculitis.
