Serological and molecular diagnosis of hepatitis B virus
Serologic assays for HBV are the mainstay diagnostic tools for HBV infection. However, the advent of molecular biology-based techniques has added a new dimension to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic HBV infection. Over the past decade, improvements in molecular technology, permitting detection of as few as 10 copies/mL of HBV DNA in serum have led to redefinitions of chronic ...
متن کاملSerological markers in fulminant hepatitis B.
Serological markers for hepatitis B virus infection have been examined in 34 patients with acute hepatitis B, 17 of whom developed fulminant hepatic failure. Hepatitis B surface antigen concentrations were significantly lower and hepatitis Be antigen was less frequently detectable in patients with fulminant hepatic failure compared with those with acute hepatitis (median 0.64 micrograms, range ...
متن کاملserological patterns and molecular characterization of occult hepatitis b virus infection among blood donors
conclusions overall, we found that obi was rare, but that the prevalence of obi was slightly higher in jiangsu than in other areas of china. methods all donor samples were routinely screened by double enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for hepatitis c virus (hcv), hepatitis b virus (hbv), human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), treponema pallidum (tp), and alanine aminotransferase (alt). sin...
متن کاملSerological markers of hepatitis A and B virus infection in university students.
Serological markers of hepatitis A and B virus infection were determined by radioimmunoassay in 162 university students. Antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe) was demonstrated in 11 of 15 students positive for both antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc). The presence of anti-HBc alone seemed to denote previous hepatitis B virus infec...
متن کاملHepatitis B serological markers and plasma DNA concentrations
OBJECTIVES To examine hepatitis B (HBV) serological markers and plasma DNA concentrations in a large group of untreated HBV/HIV-coinfected individuals in two sub-Saharan settings. DESIGN Baseline analysis of a randomized controlled trial. METHODS DART was a large trial of treatment monitoring practices in HIV-infected adults with advanced disease starting antiretroviral therapy at centres i...
