Hepatitis Be antigen and antibody in hepatitis B surface antigen positive blood donors.
In a study of 105 asymptomatic HBsAg positive blood donors, 9 (8.6%) were found to have HBeAg, 38 (36.2%) anti-HBe, and the remaining 58 (55.2%) neither marker detectable by gel diffusion. There was no correlation between HBeAg/anti-HBe status and HBsAg sub-types, Glm allotypes, the presence of anti-Gm, red cell antibodies, or rheumatoid factor. Rheumatoid factor activity could be removed from ...
متن کاملSeroprevalence 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 ...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus DNA viral load determination in hepatitis B surface antigen-negative Swiss blood donors.
BACKGROUND Nucleic acid test (NAT) hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening for all blood donations with a sensitivity limit of 25 IU/mL in the individual donation is mandatory in Switzerland since 2009. The aims of the two studies were to define the percentage of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) or anti-HBc and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs)-positive donors bearing ...
متن کاملMolecular and serological detection of occult hepatitis B virus among healthy hepatitis B surface antigen-negative blood donors in Malaysia.
BACKGROUND Occult hepatitis B infections are becoming a major global threat, but the available data on its prevalence in various parts of the world are often divergent. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to detect occult hepatitis B virus in hepatitis B surface antigen-negative serum using anti-HBc as a marker of previous infection. PATIENT AND METHODS A total of 1000 randomly selected hepatitis B ...
متن کاملFrequency and load of hepatitis B virus DNA in first-time blood donors with antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen.
The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and load of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in anti-HBc-positive first-time blood donors; it was designed to contribute to determining whether anti-HBc screening of blood donations might reduce the residual risk of posttransfusion HBV infection. A total of 14 251 first-time blood donors were tested for anti-HBc using a microparticle enzyme ...
