Occult hepatitis B virus infection

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2000
Many studies have shown that hepatitis B virus infection may also occur in hepatitis B surface antigen-negative patients. This occult infection has been identified both in patients with cryptogenic liver disease and in patients with hepatitis C virus-related chronic hepatitis, and much evidence suggests that it may be a risk factor of hepatocellular ...

Hepatic Expression of Hepatitis B Virus Genome in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1996
The 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.

Hepatitis B Virus Infection

New England Journal of Medicine, 2008
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 infection in children

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2012
Hepatitis B can develop in less than 5% of neonates of infected mothers, despite neonatal serovaccination. Most children will develop a chronic hepatitis. Most children are in an immune-tolerant or in an inactive phase. Interferon is the treatment of choice, in the rare cases where it is necessary.

Hepatitis B virus infection and glomerulonephritis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1987
Hepatitis B antigenemia has been associated and implicated in many glomerular diseases. One hundred and ten children with glomerulonephritis were taken up for the study. HBs Ag and Anti HBs were estimated. 52% of children were positive for HBV markers. Preceding jaundice, hypertension, hematuria were seen more in children with HBV markers.

THERAPY FOR HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1994
Major advances have been made in the therapy of chronic viral hepatitis B during the past several years. This period has witnessed the publication of large, multicenter trials of recombinant interferon alfa for chronic hepatitis B in the United States and the completion of several similarly designed studies in North America, Europe and Asia.

Immunology of hepatitis B virus infections

Rheumatology International, 1989
Acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection is often associated with symptoms which are probably caused by immune complexes, such as vasculitis, glomerulonephritis and arthritis. The immune complexes found in such patients contain excessive viral proteins.

Hepatitis B virus infection

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2007
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 in Dentists

New England Journal of Medicine, 1975
To evaluate viral hepatitis as a hazard in general dentistry, we surveyed participants in an annual health-screening program at the 1972 American Dental Association session. Of 1245 practitioners, 0.9 per cent were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, and 12.7 per cent were antibody positive.
