ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global public health challenge, with a high risk of complications such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death. As outlined in current international society guidelines, antiviral therapies are aimed at preventing progression of liver disease to life‐threatening complications ...

Occult hepatitis B in patients on hemodialysis: a review
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most frequently transmitted agents in dialysis units. Occult hepatitis B is characterized by HBV infection without detectable surface antigen (HBsAg) in the patient’s serum, a positive or negative HBV DNA marker ...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection [PDF]
SUMMARYChronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a complex clinical entity frequently associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The persistence of HBV genomes in the absence of detectable surface antigenemia is termed occult HBV infection.

ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a significant global health challenge. While the dynamic interplay between viral replication and host immune responses determines infection outcomes, the mechanisms driving the resolution of acute infection versus the emergence of chronicity remain incompletely understood.

ABSTRACT Orthobornaviruses express X and the phosphoprotein (P) from a bicistronic X/P mRNA, and these proteins regulate polymerase activity. In mammalian orthobornaviruses, the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of the X/P mRNA controls the translational balance between X and P and thereby promotes efficient replication.

Update on occult hepatitis B virus infection
The event of mutations in the surface antigen gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) results in undetectable hepatitis B surface antigen with positive/negative anti-hepatitis B core (anti-HBc) antibody status in serum and this phenomenon is named occult hepatitis B infection (OBI).

ABSTRACT HEV causes chronic infections that are detrimental to immunocompromised patients. Previous studies showed alterations of γδ T cell subsets at the acute phase of HEV infection. To assess a possible role of CMV, we have examined the frequencies and responses to CMV and HEV of blood γδ T cell subsets from control donors and acute‐phase HEV ...
