NK cell phenotypic and functional shifts coincide with specific clinical phases in the natural history of chronic HBV infection [PDF]
Background Chronic HBV infection can be divided into 4 distinct clinical phases: immune tolerant, immune active, inactive carrier, and HBeAg-negative hepatitis.

ABSTRACT Pegylated‐interferon‐α (Peg‐IFNα) is a treatment option for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To quantify treatment response variability, we conducted a model‐based meta‐analysis (MBMA) of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss, defined as a binary outcome based on HBsAg levels falling below the limit of detection, with Peg‐IFNα ...

Quantitative HBsAg and HBeAg predict hepatitis B seroconversion after initiation of HAART in HIV-HBV coinfected individuals. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Anti-HBe seroconversion and HBsAg loss are important therapeutic endpoints in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Quantitative measures of hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) and e antigen (qHBeAg) have been identified as ...

Early Viral Kinetics with Telbivudine, Tenofovir or Combination of Both in Immunotolerant Patients with Hepatitis B e Antigen-Positive Chronic Hepatitis B [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Viral kinetics has proved useful in understanding antiviral potency, determining antiviral profiles and optimizing treatment strategy. METHODS: This was a randomized, open-label study comparing the viral kinetics in 46 hepatitis B e antigen-

In East Asian patients with chronic hepatitis B, rates of virologic suppression through 5 years were high in those treated continuously with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and in those switched from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to TAF. Improved renal and bone safety was observed in patients switching from TDF to TAF.

IL28B is associated with outcomes of chronic HBV infection [PDF]
Purpose The role of IL28B gene variants and expression in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are not well understood. Here, we evaluated whether IL28B gene expression and rs12979860 variations are associated with HBV outcomes.

We evaluated long‐term outcomes following nucleos(t)ide analogue discontinuation in HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B. HBsAg loss was infrequent. Early HBsAg loss occurred in patients with low end‐of‐treatment HBsAg levels and without ALT flare, whilst late HBsAg loss typically followed ALT flares and was associated with higher end‐of‐treatment HBsAg ...

HBeAg and Anti HBe Status in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Infection [PDF]
Background: Data on HBeAg and anti HBe status in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection are not yet available in Indonesia. This study was done to acquire data on HBeAg and anti HBe status in patients with hepatitis B chronic infection. Method: The

ABSTRACT Oncology patients receiving cytostatic therapy used to be at high risk of HBV infection when HBV screening measures were less reliable. Infections acquired under these conditions often persist, like those acquired perinatally or during early infancy.
