2. Epidemiology Dual infection with HBV and HCV is not uncommon in geographic areas where a high endemic level of both infections is reported, such as Southeast-Asia and Mediterranean. In general, the prevalence is around 10-20% in patients with chronic HBV infection (see table1) [1-10[r]

Where on one hand, this treatment has proven its effectiveness in ideal population; it has also identified some special populations by way of poor response or difficulties faced due to co morbid conditions.

As an example we presented the finding that maternal use of loratadine in early pregnancy was associated with a roughly doubled risk for infant hypospadias.
