The aim of this study was to assess the effect of HCV eradication in patients with abnormal serum iron studies prior to treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). PATIENTS HCV-infected subjects with iron studies obtained before and after successful treatment with DAAs were identified (n=27). All had one or more abnormal iron test before treatment. RESULTS Following HCV eradication, serum iron, transferrin-iron saturation and ferritin levels decreased significantly (pre- versus post-treatment, p1000ng/mL. Elimination of HCV infection was associated with a significant reduction in post-treatment ferritin levels even among subjects whose ferritin levels were within normal limits at baseline. Risk factors for other conditions associated with abnormal iron status were present in the few cases in which iron studies failed to normalize following DAA treatment. CONCLUSIONS Eradication of HCV infection restores normal iron status in most patients with abnormal iron tests, including those whose baseline parameters are suggestive of hemochromatosis. Uveitis is a heterogeneous collection of inflammatory diseases of the intraocular uveal tissues and adjacent structures, and they collectively are a significant cause of visual morbidity. In recent years, investigating the contribution of the gut microbiota to autoimmunity, including the development of uveitis, has gained interest. Decreased disease severity has been observed in both the induced experimental autoimmune model of uveitis and the spontaneous RI61H model of uveitis in mice treated with oral broad-spectrum antibiotics and raised in germ-f
