Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Cyclophosphamide

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1982
Excerpt To the editor: We read with interest the paper of Hoofnagle and associates (1) on clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) after reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronic infe...

Immunopathology of Hepatitis B Virus Infection

International Reviews of Immunology, 2008
The interaction between immune responses and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is coordinated between innate and adaptive immunity. Anti-HBs antibodies protect the host by blocking the binding ability of HBV. Anti-HBc antibodies are detected with persistent HBV infection.

Management of Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Gastroenterology Nursing, 2010
An 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 ...

Occult hepatitis B virus infection

Journal of Hepatology, 2007
The 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.

Immunopathogenesis of hepatitis B virus infection

Immunology & Cell Biology, 2006
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a non‐cytopathic hepatotropic virus that can lead to severe liver disease including acute hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Successful clearance of the virus as well as the establishment of liver disease is largely driven by a complex interaction between the virus and the host immune response.

Dynamics of hepatitis B virus infection

Microbes and Infection, 2002
Mathematical models of the dynamics of HIV and hepatitis C virus infection have proven to be of great utility in understanding pathogenesis and designing better treatments. Here, we review the state of the art in modeling and interpreting data obtained from hepatitis B virus infected patients treated with antiviral agents.

The Infant and Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Advances in Pediatrics, 1977
HBV has been shown to be responsible for a broad spectrum of disease in infants although most are asymptomatic carriers with mild transaminase elevation and unresolved hepatitis on liver biopsy. Maternal-infant transmission is responsible for most infections. Blood product infusion should become less significant.

Hepatitis B virus infection and pregnancy

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2011
Pregnancy only mildly affects that natural progression of acute and chronic infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) but it does bring to light three important questions. Mother to child (vertical) transmission risk is best prevented by mandatory HBs antigen testing in all pregnant women in their second trimester and by systemic serovaccination of ...

Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Medical Clinics of North America, 2014
All 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.

Hepatitis B virus infection in children

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2015
For two decades, hepatitis B vaccine has been integrated into national routine childhood vaccination programs in almost all countries. The prevalence of HBsAg has decreased in children worldwide. However, there are children who miss the benefit of hepatitis B vaccine in some regions and countries.
