Abstract

The etiology of several hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases remains largely unknown. Although Fasciola hepatica has been associated with liver fibrosis in Latin America, it has not yet been associated with HCC. This study aimed to determine the existence of specific IgG antibodies against F. hepatica in the serum samples of HCC patients. In total, 13 serum samples from 13 HCC patients were screened using Fas2-ELISA. Fas2-ELISA demonstrated negative results in all HCC patients included in this study. The pre-existence of F. hepatica infection in HCC patients needs to be further investigated in epidemiological and experimental studies.

This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 May 2018.
All research outputs
#20,509,310
of 23,075,872 outputs
Outputs from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#457
of 603 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#291,643
of 330,294 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#13
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,075,872 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 603 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,294 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
