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

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 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 ...

A 2010 update on occult hepatitis B infection

Pathologie Biologie, 2010
Occult hepatitis B virus infection is a challenging issue whose virological and clinical relevance has been a source of long-lasting debate. By definition, OBI is characterized by the persistence of HBV-DNA in the liver tissue (and in some cases also in the serum) in absence of HBsAg.

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 ...
