Occult hepatitis B virus infection
Journal of Hepatology, 2007The persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) negative individuals is termed occult HBV infection. Occult HBV status is associated in some cases with mutant viruses undetectable by HBsAg assays, but more frequently it is due to a strong suppression of viral replication and gene expression.

Occult hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections
Reviews in Medical Virology, 2008AbstractOccult HBV infection is a well‐recognised clinical entity characterised by the detection of HBV‐DNA in serum and/or in liver in the absence of detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Occult HBV infection has been described not only in patients who have resolved an acute or chronic HBV infection but also in patients without any ...

More effective and less resistance-prone antiviral agents are now available to treat hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Profound, durable, therapeutic HBV DNA suppression to slow and reverse the progression of chronic HBV infection is important, given the evidence linking high-level HBV replication and the late consequences of chronic HBV infection ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide health problem and may cause acute, fulminant, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or hepatocelullar carcinoma (HCC). Infection with HBV in infancy or early childhood may lead to a high rate of persistent infection (25-90%), while the rates are lower if infection occurs during adulthood (5-10%).

Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Overview
2019Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus, belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family. It is a partially double-stranded DNA virus with a small viral genome (3.2 kb). Chronic HBV infection remains a global public health problem. If left untreated, chronic HBV infection can progress to end-stage liver disease, such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular ...

Hepatic Expression of Hepatitis B Virus Genome in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1996The expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the liver was studied by nonisotopic in situ hybridization and correlated with liver histology, different phases in the natural evolution of chronic hepatitis B, and hepatic expression of HBV antigens in 251 Chinese patients with chronic HBV infection.

Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Medical Clinics of North America, 2014All providers, regardless of specialty, should perform screening for HBV on high-risk persons, especially those born in endemic countries. The primary care physician can perform the initial evaluation and follow-up of patients with chronic HBV by following the algorithm in this article and consulting with specialists when appropriate.

Occult hepatitis B virus infection
Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2004The detection of HBV DNA without HBsAg with or without the presence of HBV antibodies outside the acute phase window period defines occult HBV infection. This condition has been described in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), chronic hepatitis B, healthy HBV carriage and recovered infection, chronic hepatitis C and individuals without serological markers ...

Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Carriers
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1991One hundred eighty-four patients with hepatitis B surface antigen-positive chronic hepatitis were evaluated for antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). Only 11 (8%) of 136 patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication (HBV-DNA-positive in serum) while 7 (35%) of 20 positive for antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe) but HBV-DNA-negative ...

Management of Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Gastroenterology Nursing, 2010An estimated 2 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B virus (CHBV) in the United States and are at risk for long-term consequences such as cirrhosis, liver decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Less than 10 years ago, there was no treatment of CHBV infection, but now, new drugs have recently been approved and there is considerable ...
