Systemic diseases and biotherapies: Understanding, evaluating, and preventing the risk of hepatitis B reactivation [PDF]

, 2014
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation can occur in chronic carriers of the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and constitutes a well-known complication of immunosuppressive therapy. HBV reactivation has also been reported after contact with the HBV.

Incidence and Characteristics of HBV Reactivation‐Related Events Following HBsAg Seroclearance: Long‐Term Follow‐up of a Population‐Based Cohort in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a population‐based cohort in Japan, HBV reactivation‐related events were observed after HBsAg seroclearance, including one virologically confirmed hepatic flare occurring spontaneously without chemotherapy or immunosuppression. These findings indicate that HBsAg seroclearance does not always represent complete viral eradication, supporting the need ...

Occult HBV Infection: A Case Series at a Military Treatment Facility [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2019
AbstractOccult HBV infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of detectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) negative individuals. Rarely, OBI is attributed to mutant HBV that cannot be detected by commercial assays, but most cases occur in the setting of chronic hepatitis B, particularly infection with wild-type viruses ...

Efficacy of dolutegravir/lamivudine in adults with HIV‐1 and isolated reactive hepatitis B core antibody: Insights from Phase 3/3b study results

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives As two‐drug HIV‐1 antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens become standard, data gaps remain concerning their safety and efficacy among people with isolated reactive hepatitis B core antibodies (anti‐HBc). Here, we assessed the safety and efficacy of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) versus three‐ or four‐drug regimens (3DRs/4DRs ...
