Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2001
The development of highly effective and safe inactivated HAV vaccines and highly effective and safe recombinant HBsAg subunit HBV vaccines represents major advances in the control of viral hepatitis, but many challenges remain. Because current HAV immunization recommendations target high-risk groups only, infection rates are unlikely to fall ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a health problem that affects numerous infants and children in the United States. Approximately 4000 to 6000 new infections occur each year in children and adolescents; most often they become infected without obvious clinical manifestations. Some persons become chronically infected, and this asymptomatic chronically

Medical Clinics of North America, 1996
The past two decades have seen a series of breakthroughs in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of viral hepatitis. Developed countries have an increasing number of adults who are susceptible to hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. The licensing of an effective hepatitis A vaccine presents new opportunities for prevention in persons at risk for ...

Annual Review of Medicine, 1985
Purified from the plasma of hepatitis B carriers, hepatitis B surface antigen particles have been used in a vaccine to prevent hepatitis B. This plasma-derived vaccine is immunogenic, protective, and has an excellent safety record. Indications and strategies for preexposure and postexposure prophylaxis are reviewed.

Pediatric Infectious Disease, 2014
Abstract HAV disease burden is high in countries in intermediate endemic zone. Besides there are population groups in all countries that have higher risk to develop severe hepatitis A disease. Not only is HAV a common cause of clinical hepatitis A disease but it is also a major reason for fulminant hepatic failure in children needing liver transplant.

The Lancet, 1976
The high rate of infection with hepatitis B virus in certain defined populations in industralized countries and among the general population in many non-industrialized countries stresses the need for hepatitis B vaccines. Hepatitis B, one of at least six different forms of viral hepatitis, may progress to chronic liver disease, including chronic ...

Prevention of hepatitis A by vaccination
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2003Inactivated hepatitis A vaccines have been available for more than a decade. Characteristics of the vaccines, comparative data among different formulations and the possibility of combination and association with other vaccines are reviewed in this article.

Journal of Virological Methods, 1985
As hepatitis B virus does not replicate in tissue culture systems, it was impossible to prepare a vaccine in the conventional way. However, the surface-antigen of the virus is present in abundance in the blood of certain virus carriers. This phenomenon has been used to develop plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccines and these vaccines are now available. In

Vaccine, 1983
Abstract Hepatitis B is endemic in many African, Asian and Pacific countries causing much debilitation and death. The disease can lead to chronic cirrhosis and is closely associated with liver cell cancer. There are in the order of 200 million people that carry the virus and constitute a huge reservoir of infection.

Hepatitis Vaccination and Prophylaxis
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2009The three most commonly identified causes of viral hepatitis in the United States are hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are infected by these viruses; many experience illness as a result.
