Hepatitis B virus vaccination of voluntary blood donors and immunization status assessment by Anti-Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) antibody titer

Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody (anti-HBs) forming immune complexes in fulminant hepatitis.

This paper reports an unusual pattern of serological HBV markers and the presence of HBsAg/anti-HBs immune complexes in serum samples from two patients with fulminant hepatitis from the Brazilian Western Amazon Basin. The diagnosis was made by both serologic tests and demonstration of antigen/antibody complexes by transmission electron microscopy. Concurrent Delta virus superinfection is also d...

Hepatitis B Prevention and Immunization

هپاتیت به معنی التهاب کبد است. هپاتیت B هپاتیت سرمی هم نامیده می شود، ویروس آن از خون، مایعات سروزی بدن، بزاق و مایع منی یافت شده و باعث می گردد که سلولهای کبدی به دنبال واکنش التهابی عملکرد خود را از دست دهند که این حالت ممکن است منجر به انسداد مجاری صفراوی و یا نارسایی کبد شود. 

Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination in Hemodialysis Patients: A Necessity for Individualizing of Immunization?

A Case of Hairy Cell Leukemia Associated with Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) Antigenemia and Concurrent Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Seropositivity

Literature review shows that hepatitis C infection may increase the risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma. Reactivation of hepatitis B infection has been reported in patients with hairy cell leukemia after chemotherapy and/or splenectomy. We present hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigenemia and concurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity in a case of hairy cell leukemia. Key Words: Hairy cell leukemi...

Seroprevalence of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Viruses Among Blood Donors in North of Iran

Background and Objective: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are both transmitted by the fecal-oral route and are known as leading causes of acute viral hepatitis in the world, especially in developing countries. There is a lack of updated data on HAV and HEV seroprevalence in the north of Iran. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HAV and HEV among blood donors ...
