Knowledge and Prevalence of Hepatitis B and C Viral Infections Among Beauticians: A Cross‐Sectional Study in the Ejisu‐Juaben Municipality of the Ashanti Region, Ghana

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Procedures used by beauticians pose a significant risk of transmitting blood‐borne viruses, including hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Despite this risk, data on HBV and HCV prevalence and knowledge among beauticians in Ghana are limited.

Diagnostic strategy for occult hepatitis B virus infection

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2011
In 2008, the European Association for the study of the liver (EASL) defined occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) as the "presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the liver (with detectable or undetectable HBV DNA in the serum) of individuals testing hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative by currently available assays".

HDV can constrain HBV genetic evolution in hbsag: Implications for the identification of innovative pharmacological targets [PDF]

, 2018
Chronic HBV + HDV infection is associated with greater risk of liver fibrosis, earlier hepatic decompensation, and liver cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma compared to HBV mono-infection.

Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Transmission and Reactivation

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013
Occult HBV infection (OBI) is defined as presence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue in patients with serologically undetectable HBsAg. There are differences in virologic and serological profiles of OBI. Majority of OBI are positive for anti-HBs and/or anti-HBc and minor portion are negative for all HBV markers.

Occult hepatitis B infection and transfusion-transmission risk

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2017
Advances in serology and viral nucleic acid testing (NAT) over the last decades significantly reduced the risk of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis B virus (HBV). The combination of HBsAg testing and NAT efficiently prevents the majority of HBV transmission.
