Influence of anti-HBc positive organ donor in lung donor selection.
INTRODUCTION The risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission through donor organs with HBsAg(-) and anti-HBc(+) serology has not been extensively studied in lung transplantation. The objectives of this study are to ascertain the influence of the anti-HBc(+) on the acceptance of the lung for transplantation, to comment on the published literature and to suggest an algorithm for action. METHOD...
متن کاملLow-level viraemia of hepatitis B virus in an anti-HBc- and anti-HBs-positive blood donor.
summary In many countries, screening of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in blood donors is limited to HBsAg testing. However, if anti-HBc testing and sensitive HBV nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT) for routine screening are not prescribed, HBV viraemia might remain unrecognized. A clinically inconspicuous HBsAg-negative 35-year-old female blood donor was detected with anti-HBc antibodies followi...
متن کاملOccult Hepatitis B Demonstrated by Anti-HBc and HBV DNA in HIV-Positive Patients
Background: In patients who are hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA-positive, but HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) -negative, the infection is referred to as occult hepatitis B infection (OBI). Occult HBV infection is harmful when other liver diseases are present, and can aggravate liver damage in in patients with chronic liver diseases. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection the suppression of vir...
متن کاملDNA polymerase activity: a method of determining the infectivity of blood positive for anti-HBc.
In order to determine the prevalence of continuing Hepatitis B viral replication in blood donors, the estimation of DNA polymerase activity was carried out in sera which were anti-HBc (antihepatitis B core antigen) positive. Of 327 samples tested 33 (10.1%) were positive. Of 71 Malay donors positive for anti-HBc, 14 (19.7%) were found to be positive for DNA polymerase activity. Of 55 Chinese do...
متن کاملHBV vaccination of HCV-infected patients with occult HBV infection and anti-HBc-positive blood donors.
Anti-HBc positivity is a frequent cause of donation rejection at blood banks. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may also occur in HBsAg-negative patients, a situation denoted occult infection. Similarly, very low levels of HBV-DNA have also been found in the sera of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, even in the absence of serum HBsAg. Initially we searched for HBV-DNA in ...
