Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Annals of Clinical and Analytical Medicine, 2013 Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OHB) is defined as presence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid in blood or tissues with undetectable hepatitis B surface antigen, outwith the preseroconversion window period. Several possibilities have been hypothesized as the mechanisms of OHB.

Clinical significance of occult hepatitis B virus infection
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2011 Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of HBV DNA in the liver (with or without detectable HBV DNA in serum) for individuals testing HBV surface antigen negative. Until recently, the clinical effect of OBI was unclear on the progression of liver disease; on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma; and on the risk ...

Occult hepatitis B virus infection and blood transfusion
World Journal of Hepatology, 2015 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 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.
