Occult hepatitis B virus infection

open access: yesDigestive and Liver Disease, 2000
Many studies have shown that hepatitis B virus infection may also occur in hepatitis B surface antigen-negative patients. This occult infection has been identified both in patients with cryptogenic liver disease and in patients with hepatitis C virus-related chronic hepatitis, and much evidence suggests that it may be a risk factor of hepatocellular ...

Occult Hepatitis B Infection

open access: yes, 2017
Occult hepatitis B infection is a unique disease entity defined by detectable hepatitis B virus DNA in the sera and/or livers in subjects who are negative for HBsAg. OBI can be classified by serology. It can also be classified according to the medical history of the subjects.

Occult hepatitis B virus infection

open access: yesJournal 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 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 Infection in Recent Immigrants to Italy: Occult B Infection in Immigrants

Journal of Community Health, 2019
This study determined the prevalence and clinical features of occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) in a population of recent immigrants to Italy. Two hundred-five immigrants were tested for HBV-infection and were classified as seropositive-OBI or false-OBI.
