متن کاملDrug-Resistance Associated Mutations in Polymerase (P) Gene of Hepatitis B Virus Isolated From Malaysian HBV Carriers
BACKGROUND Mutations in the polymerase (P) gene of hepatitis B virus are often associated with drug resistance. The pattern of mutations varies geographically, thus giving rise to genotypes diversity. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to detect mutations in P gene of hepatitis B virus isolated from Malaysian HBV carriers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 58 sera samples were analyzed by...
متن کاملDistribution of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Genotypes among HBV Carriers in Isparta
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes in Isparta, Southwest of Turkey, as well as the clinical features and transmission route for patients with HBV infections. Methods: Patients (n = 135) with HBV infection were included in the study. Epidemiological and clinical data were obtained. HBV genotypes were determined with a preS2 epitope ELISA ...
متن کاملIncidence of Hepatitis B virus Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Mutations in Naïve Treated of Chronic Carriers from Tehran Metropolis, Iran
Abstract Background: Naturally occurred hepatitis B virus (HBV) with surface mutations in a variety of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who have received no vaccine or HBIG bearing substitutions in surface protein, have been reported. Objectives: Current knowledge concerning the prevalence of these naturally occurring surface antigen mutations among Iranian carriers is limited. Patients and M...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus S gene escape mutants
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be classified into nine immunological subtypes or eight genotypes. The most prevalent genotypes in Asia are genotypes B and C. HBV is transmitted parenteraly and can produce either asymptomatic or symptomatic disease. Although the consequences of acute hepatitis B can be severe, serious sequelae are associated with chronic infections. HBV seroprevalence ranges from i...
