Donors With Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Positivity

Transplantation Proceedings, 2015
There is a still controversy among transplantation centers regarding acceptance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive donors for renal transplantation. However, some reports show that these donors can be used under a special protocol. In this study, we compared the clinical and biochemical parameters of patients who received kidneys from ...

Vertical transmission of the hepatitis B surface antigen

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1975
Vertical transmission implies transmission of the hepatitis B virus from mother to infant. This occurs with great frequency (70 to 100 per cent) when the mother has acute hepatitis B near delivery. Studies indicate that transmission may occur transplacentally or during the birth process, Once infected, the infants apparently remain hepatitis B surface ...

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen in Corneal Donors

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987
Using an enzyme immunoassay, we detected hepatitis B surface antigen in washings of ocular tissue from two of three corneal donors who had positive serum assays for hepatitis B surface antigen. Hepatitis B surface antigen was identified in emulsified corneal tissue from one of two donors from whom corneal tissue was available for study.

Hepatitis B surface antigen in the Iraqi population

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1976
Using counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP), the carrier rate of HBsAg among the Arab Population of Iraq was found to be 2.8% comparted with 5.5% in the Kurd population. The incidence of antigenaemia in laboratory workers, renal dialysis staff and patients, nursing and blood bank staff, and pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus patients is also ...

A New Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1976
A new determinant of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag), g, which is distinct from the previously identified determinants a, d, y, w, and r, was studied. This new antigen tended to be associated with the d antigen; it was found in 97% of ad specimens and in 15% of ay specimens.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen in Human Tears

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1978
The incidence of hepatitis B virus infection has been increasing every year in the United States, particularly among medical personnel. Only half of these cases are associated with exposure to blood or blood products. Respiratory, fecal-oral, and venereal methods of transmission of hepatitis B virus infection are supported by epidemiological evidence ...

Origin of salivary hepatitis B surface antigen

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1980
Abstract –Low titers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is often found in mixed saliva of antigenemic individuals. In the present study the occurrence of antigen in saliva was correlated to the content of albumin, which is not synthesized by the salivary glands, but represents a leakage into the oral cavity due to hemorrhage, exudation or ...

Hepatitis B surface antigen monitoring and management of chronic hepatitis B

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2011
Summary.  Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels reflect intrahepatic hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA and may be a valuable addition to HBV DNA in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Among HBeAg‐negative CHB patients with low HBV DNA levels, HBsAg quantification may help distinguish those with ...

Hepatitis B caused by a hepatitis B surface antigen escape mutant

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2008
Amino acid substitutions within the S gene involving the major antigenic a determinant of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) have been detected in cases of failure of immunization against the virus. Our report showed development of clinical hepatitis in presence of antibody to HBsAg in a healthy individual.

Quantification of hepatitis B surface antigen can help predict spontaneous hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2012
The clinical outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers are favorable following hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical course of spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance and the factors predicting it.A total of 423 patients who tested positive for HBsAg and were referred to Chiba University ...
