Viral hepatitis B and D--preventive aspects.

Relationship between hepatitis B DNA Viral load in the liver and it\'s histology in patient with chronic hepatitis B

Background: Serial measurement of  hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum HBV DNA levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. This study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis B DNA viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV). Methods:  Thirty patients with chronic anti-Hbe positive ...

Viral Hepatitis: Past and Future of Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis D Virus

Viral hepatitis is a significant disease afflicting hundreds of millions of people. Hepatitiscausing viruses initiate significant morbidity and mortality by establishing both acute and chronic infections, and several of these viruses are specifically associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Consequently, intense research efforts are focused on increasing our understand...

Viral hepatitis, type B.

INTRODUCTION Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus which is highly host and organ specific; to date it has only been found to infect hepatocytes of man and of a few nonhuman primate species. Despite the continuing failure of virologists to find an in vitro system for propagating HBV, it has been possible to gain a great deal of information about the agent and about viral hepatitis, type B, as ...

Viral Hepatitis B: Introduction

Viral hepatitis includes five distinct disease entities, which are caused by at least five different viruses. Hepatitis A and hepatitis B (infectious and serum hepatitis, respectively) are considered separate diseases and both can be diagnosed by a specific serologic test. Hepatitis C and E comprise a third category, each a distinct type, with Hepatitis C parenterally transmitted, and hepatitis...
