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 ...

Prevalence of occult hepatitis B virus infection

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2011
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) is characterized by the persistence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue in individuals negative for the HBV surface antigen. The prevalence of OBI is quite variable depending on the level of endemic disease in different parts of the world, the different assays utilized in the studies, and the different ...

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 ...

Residual risk of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C, and hepatitis B following implementation of sexual risk behavior‐based screening in Canada

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In 2022, Canadian Blood Services implemented a gender‐neutral sexual behavior‐based screening (SBBS) approach to donor deferral, replacing time‐based criteria targeting gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) and female partners of gbMSM. We assessed the impact of this policy change on human immunodeficiency virus (
