Occult hepatitis B virus infection with positive hepatitis B e antigen

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2015
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is a marker to indicate active replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Occult HBV infection (OBI), referred to persistence of HBV DNA in serum and/or liver without detectable serum hepatitis B surface (HBsAg), usually has low HBV DNA levels.

Clearance of Hepatitis B e-Antigen in Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1982
HBeAg and anti-HBe were determined by radioimmunoassay (Abbott HBe) in serial serum samples from 22 patients who had been HBsAg-positive for more than 1 year. Seventeen patients (77%) were HBeAg-positive at onset of illness. Eight of these patients were persistently HBeAg-positive during 2.5-8.5 years' follow-up study (mean, 5.4 years).

Immunopathogenesis of hepatitis B e antigen negative chronic hepatitis B infection

Antiviral Research, 2001
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative chronic hepatitis B represents currently the predominant form of chronic hepatitis due to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in several parts of the world. In this review, recent data regarding the process of HBeAg negative HBV strain selection during the course of chronic HBV infection are presented and the potential ...

Serum Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels Predict Surface Antigen Loss in Hepatitis B e Antigen Seroconverters

Gastroenterology, 2011
Loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) usually indicates that hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been cured. However, little is known about factors predicting HBsAg loss in patients who spontaneously clear hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg).We studied 390 Taiwanese HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis who had spontaneously cleared HBeAg ...

Extended lamivudine consolidation therapy in hepatitis B e antigen-positive chronic hepatitis B patients improves sustained hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009
Longer lamivudine (LAM) consolidation therapy after hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion has been demonstrated to reduce the cumulative relapse rate. However, the optimal interval of LAM consolidation therapy remains controversial. We evaluated the post-treatment durability of LAM-induced HBeAg seroconversion and the length of LAM consolidation

Hepatitis B e antigen positive mother hepatitis B e antigen long persistence in her non‐infected baby

Acta Paediatrica, 2006
AbstractWe report the case of a baby born to a hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier mother. This infant had a hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) in the serum until 6 months of age. Serial sera samples were analysed for HBV markers. No breakthrough of HBV infection was detected.

Hepatitis B e Antigen — The Dangerous Endgame of Hepatitis B

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
The external pernicious influences of wind and dampness cause liver Qi to stagnate, and excess damp heat in liver and weakness of spleen Qi result.

Hepatitis B e Antigen and Antibody Measured by Radioimmunoassay in Acute Hepatitis B Surface Antigen-Positive Hepatitis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1980
The presence of the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) was studied by a solid-phase radioimmunoassay in 70 patients with acute hepatitis positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. HBeAg was found in 15 of 16 patients studied within two weeks after onset of symptoms. In total, 45 patients were found positive for HBeAg.

Factors affecting clearance of hepatitis B e antigen in hepatitis B surface antigen carrier children

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1989
To understand the natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in children, we studied factors affecting the clearance of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). One hundred sixty-nine apparently healthy children whose sera were positive for HBeAg and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and who were recruited by screening were followed prospectively ...

Seroconversion from Hepatitis B e Antigen in Chronic Type B Hepatitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1981
Excerpt To the editor: I read with great interest the paper by Hoofnagle and associates (1). Information on the natural history of type B chronic hepatitis is welcomed by anyone treating patients w...
