Metode Nucleic Acid Test Untuk Uji Saring Virus Hepatitis B Pada Darah Donor Dengan Hepatitis B Occult [PDF]
HBsAg is the primary screening at the Blood Transfusion Unit (UTD) in Indonesia. Blood with HBsAg negative still have potential to transmit the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection.

Pathogenesis of occult chronic hepatitis B virus infection
Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is characterized by hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) presenting HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc positive serological patterns. Occult HBV status is associated in some cases with mutant viruses undetectable by HBsAg assays; but more frequently it is due to a strong ...

Direct-acting antivirals and visceral leishmaniasis: A case report [PDF]
Background: Visceral leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by protozoa belonging to the genus Leishmania. The clinical presentation of visceral leishmaniasis strictly depends on the host immunocompetency, whereas depressive conditions ...

Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Many studies have suggested that occult HBV infection has a substantial clinical relevance to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Occult HBV infection is an important risk factor for the development of cirrhosis and HCC in patients without HBsAg. As a matter of fact, occult HBV infection is one of the most common causes of crytogenic HCC in endemic areas ...

Pathological and virological findings in patients with persistent hypertransaminasaemia of unknown aetiology [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The histopathological spectrum and role of hepatitis viruses in cases of hypertransaminasaemia of unknown aetiology have not been correctly analysed in a sufficiently large number of patients.

Concurrent infections of hepatitis C and HIV in hepatitis B patients in the north-east of Iran
Co-infection of HBV, HCV and HIV is common because of shared routes of viral transmission with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Anti-HCV and HIV antibodies of168 HBV patients were assayed.

Occult hepatitis B virus infection and blood transfusion
Transfusion-transmitted infections including hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been a major concern in transfusion medicine. Implementation of HBV nucleic acid testing (NAT) has revealed occult HBV infection (OBI) in blood donors. In the mid-1980s, hepatitis B core antibody (HBc) testing was introduced to screen blood donors in HBV non-endemic countries to ...

[Occult hepatitis B infection].
Occult (silent, inapparent) hepatitis B infection is defined as the presence of HBV-DNA where hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) is absent, outside of acute hepatitis window period. HBV-DNA positivity alone can be detected not only in cryptogenic hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, recovered HBV infections and hepatitis C virus infections,
