Hepatitis B or non-A, non-B virus infection in multitransfused thalassaemic patients.
We undertook a four year study of 128 thalassaemic patients who had undergone several transfusions, to determine the incidence of hepatitis B virus markers and the activities of transaminases in their sera each month. The results showed that the possibility of these patients contracting hepatitis B virus infection is still high, although on only one occasion was a transient antigenaemia found, ...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus infection in multitransfused haemophiliacs.
A longitudinal study of 44 haemophilic children, all in a treatment programme with factor concentrates, was undertaken to evaluate the occurrence, characteristics, and evolution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Twenty four children (55%) (group I) showed signs of HBV infection, while 20 (45%) (group II) did not. Age at onset of treatment, number of infusions, and total amount of concentrat...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
متن کاملSerum hepatitis B virus DNA detects cryptic hepatitis B virus infections in multitransfused hemophilic patients.
The recognition of replicating hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be important to both define the cause of and know how to manage chronic liver disease in multitransfused hemophilic patients. Replicating HBV can be detected at the molecular level by methods for HBV-specific DNA (HBV-DNA), which are much more sensitive than the immunologic methods for detecting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and h...
متن کاملHepatitis B infection in multitransfused thalassaemics.
The risk of HBV infection by blood transfusion remains moderate due to the prevalence of HBV carriers in the general population of Peninsular Malaysia ranging from 3 to 6%. 23% of multitransfused thalassaemics showed HbsAg and 31% have been exposed to HBV infection. I Hepatitis B vaccination should be carried out at the start of blood transfusion in all thalassaeI mics destined to be transfusio...
