From: Effectiveness of HCV core antigen and RNA quantification in HCV-infected and HCV/HIV-1-coinfected patients

Figure 2

The correlation was showed between the concentration of hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV-coreAg) and HCV-RNA at two time points. (A) The levels of HCV-coreAg were highly correlated with serum HCV-RNA load, both in HCV-monoinfected and HCV/HIV-1-coinfected patients in 2009 and 2012, for both HCV genotypes 1b () and 2a (). (B) Correlation of ΔHCV-coreAg concentration (log10fmol/L in 2012 - log10fmol/L in 2009) and ΔHCV-RNA concentration (log10IU/mL in 2012 - log10IU/mL in 2009) at two time points both in HCV-monoinfected and HCV/HIV-1-coinfected patients. Spearman's rank-correlation test was performed. All values are log10-transformed, p < 0.05 indicates significance.
