No Hepatitis Delta Virus Seropositivity among Blood Donors with Overt and Occult Hepatitis B Infection in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is an obligate satellite of hepatitis B (HBV). Dual HDV/HBV infection associated with down-regulated HBV replication and fast progression to severe liver disease. Although HDV transmissible through exposure infected blood, data about in blood donors remain scarce. Between 2011 2021, 869,633 donations were collected from prequalified Dalian, China. In total, 1060 (0.12%) confirmed HBsAg and/or DNA-reactive. Subsequently, anti-HDV IgG was tested 2175 donations, including 65 that HBsAg+ pre donation, 1017 HBV-positive (507 HBsAg+/HBV DNA+, 33 HBsAg+/DNA−, 477 HBsAg-/DNA+ (451 occult (OBI) 26 acute infections)), 327 viral DNA non-repeated-reactive, 397 anti-HBc-only, 369 anti-HBs-only. Two (0.09%) samples weakly reactive but unconfirmed by IgM repeat testing alternative assays, suggesting initial false reactivity. addition, a subgroup OBI donors, comprising 451 Dalian 126 archived around the world, showed only one non-Chinese donor be repeatedly anti-HDV-reactive, coinfection does not play significant role genesis OBI. The overall suggested extremely low prevalence among Liaoning province, Northeast

Prevalence of Occult Hepatitis B Infection among HBsAg Negative Blood Donors in Golestan Province
Background and Aims: Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) is known as an important source of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It is categorized as Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) not being present and low DNA viral load in serum. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the outbreak of anti-HBc and OBI among the HBsAg-negative donors in Golestan province. Materials and Metho...
متن کاملOccult Hepatitis B Virus Infection among Blood Donors with Antibodies to Hepatitis B Core Antigen
Diagnosis of hepatitis B is routinely based on of serological assay of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is generally defined as the detection of HBV -DNA in the serum or tissues of subjects who have negative test for HBsAg. Transmission of HBV infection has been documented from HBsAg negative, anti-HBc positive blood and organ donors. The aim of this...

ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients who lack detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is called occult hepatitis B infection. Such infections have been frequently identified in patients with chronic hepatitis Cliver disease, but their prevalence is not known. Methods: 207 patients with chronic hepatitis C who were HCV -RNA and antiHCV positive were stu...
متن کاملOccult Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Nigerian Blood Donors and Hepatitis B Virus Transmission Risks
BACKGROUND Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) characterized by the absence of detectable HBsAg remains a potential threat in blood safety. We investigated the actual prevalence, viral factors and genotype of OBI infections in Nigerian blood donors. METHODS Serum collected from two blood banks were reconfirmed as HBsAg seronegative by ELISA. Forty HBsAg positive samples were employed as ...
