Seroprevalence of hepatitis B infection and associated risk factors among drug users in drop-in centers of Isfahan, Iran

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2018
Background: Scientists perceive drug users (DUs) as a high-risk population for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Effective strategies aiming at the reduction of HBV infection can be depicted when its epidemiological status is clearly defined.

Current diagnosis of occult or cryptic hepatitis B [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo), 2005
The present article presents a kind of hepatitis B in patients whodo not have the surface antigen (HbsAg) detectable in sera. It hasbeen described in different parts of the world and is known todayas “occult or criptic hepatitis B” and its importance has

Baseline quantitative HBcAb strongly predicts undetectable HBV DNA and RNA in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with entecavir for 10 years

Scientific Reports, 2021
The predictive effect of quantitative anti-hepatitis B core on double-negative HBV DNA and RNA remains unstudied. We observed dynamic changes in this measure in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving entecavir for 10 years, evaluating its predictive ...

Persistence of antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1976
Sera from military personnel found to have antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBS) in an epidemiological study of a hepatitis B outbreak were tested for persistence of that antibody 1 year later. Initially, 64% of the anti-HBS-positive sera reacted in passive hemagglutination tests with erythrocytes coated with hepatitis B surface antigen ...

Frequency of Occult Hepatitis B in Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital

Proceedings, 2021
Introduction: Occult infections (OBIs) caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) are detected by the presence of HBV DNA without surface antigens. The prevalence of HBsAg in general population of Pakistan is around 3%, but there is no data regarding the ...

A recombinant human immunoglobulin with coherent avidity to hepatitis B virus surface antigens of various viral genotypes and clinical mutants.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope is composed of a lipid bilayer and three glycoproteins, referred to as the large (L), middle (M), and small (S) hepatitis B virus surface antigens (HBsAg). S protein constitutes the major portion of the viral envelope
