Frequency-dependent selection drives HBeAg seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]

Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2013
HBeAg seroconversion is an important stage in the evolution of a chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection that usually leads to control of viral replication and a reduced risk for liver cirrhosis and cancer. Since current therapies for the HBV-associated liver inflammation that is known as chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

An expert consensus for the management of chronic hepatitis B in Asian Americans. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is common with major clinical consequences. In Asian Americans, the HBsAg carrier rate ranges from 2% to 16% which approximates the rates from their countries of origin.

HBeAg seroconversion in children infected during early childhood with hepatitis B virus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2012
Seroconversion of hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) to anti-HBe is associated with lower viral load and liver diseases.The purpose of this study was to assess the seroconversion rate of HBeAg to anti-HBe in children who acquired hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection during early childhood.From September 1990 to December 2010, 139 HBeAg-positive children were ...

Antiviral treatment alters the frequency of activating and inhibitory receptor-expressing natural killer cells in chronic Hepatitis B virus infected patients [PDF]

, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in innate antiviral immunity, but little is known about the impact of antiviral therapy on the frequency of NK cell subsets.

Role of hepatosteatosis in HBsAg seroconversion in HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B patients

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2021
In chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, certain individual and viral characteristics such as advanced age, presence of hepatic steatosis (HS), normal ALT levels, initially negative HBeAg and HBV DNA, and genotype of the virus are associated with HBsAg seroclearance and seroconversion.

Role of antiviral therapy in the natural history of hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease [PDF]

, 2015
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic state of interactions among HBV, hepatocytes, and the host immune system. Natural history studies of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection have shown an association between active viral replication and adverse

HBsAg as an important predictor of HBeAg seroconversion following antiviral treatment for HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2014
Serum quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels may be an important predictor of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion (SC) in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients during antiviral treatment. The pattern of HBsAg variation in CHB patients either with or without SC following tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment

Core promoter: A critical region where the hepatitis B virus makes decisions [PDF]

, 2014
The core promoter (CP) of the viral genome plays an important role for hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication as it directs initiation of transcription for the synthesis of both the precore and pregenomic (pg) RNAs.

Is it necessary to delay antiviral therapy for 3-6 months to anticipate HBeAg seroconversion in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B in endemic areas of HBV genotype C? [PDF]

Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2014
Background/AimsSpontaneous HBeAg seroconversion occurs frequently in the immune reactive phase in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Therefore, observation for 3-6 months before commencing antiviral therapy is recommended in patients with alanine ...

HBeAg Seroconversion in HBeAg-Positive Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Receiving Long-Term Nucleos(t)ide Analog Treatment: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundHBeAg seroconversion is an important intermediate outcome in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study aimed to compare the effect of nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) on HBeAg seroconversion in treating CHB with lamivudine ...
