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.

Occult hepatitis B

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2002
Worldwide, chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the primary cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and is one of the ten leading causes of death. Traditionally, people with chronic HBV infection have been identified with blood tests for HBV antigens and antibodies. Recently, another group of patients with chronic HBV infection has been

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 ...

Occult Hepatitis B Infection

2021
Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of HBV replicative templates in the liver with/without circulating HBV DNA in patients with undetectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The prevalence of OBI is estimated to be ranging from

Occult hepatitis B and HIV infection

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2019
Introduction Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, so-called occult B infection (OBI), is defined by the recognition of HBV-DNA in the absence of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The HBV-DNA genome in OBI is fully replication competent and produced in the liver, characteristically with low-level HBV-DNA ...

Occult hepatitis B virus infection

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2004
The 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 ...

Occult hepatitis B virus infection with positive hepatitis B e antigen

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2015
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is a marker to indicate active replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Occult HBV infection (OBI), referred to persistence of HBV DNA in serum and/or liver without detectable serum hepatitis B surface (HBsAg), usually has low HBV DNA levels.

Occult hepatitis B in renal transplant patients

Transplant Infectious Disease, 2005
Abstract: Background. Occult hepatitis B (HB) is characterized by the presence of HBV‐DNA in patients who do not have HB surface antigen (HBsAg) detectable in sera, and is frequently described in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. These viral liver diseases are common and may have a negative impact on the survival of renal transplant ...
