Syringe-transmitted hepatitis.

Outcome of Intravenous Immunoglobulin-Transmitted HTLV-I, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV infections

Hepatitis A transmitted by food.

Hepatitis A is caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). Transmission occurs by the fecal-oral route, either by direct contact with an HAV-infected person or by ingestion of HAV-contaminated food or water. Foodborne or waterborne hepatitis A outbreaks are relatively uncommon in the United States. However, food handlers with hepatitis A are frequently identified, and evaluation of the need for immunopr...

Sexually transmitted hepatitis: a review.

Transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E in Germany, 2013.

The reported IgG seroprevalence against hepatitis E virus (HEV) in German blood donations is 6.8%, and HEV RNA detected in 0.08%, but documented evidence for HEV transmission is lacking. We identified two donations from a single donor containing 120 IU HEV RNA/mL plasma and 490 IU/mL. An infectious dose of 7,056 IU HEV RNA was transmitted via apheresis platelets to an immunosuppressed patient w...

Evaluation of S Gene Mutations in Children with Maternally Transmitted Hepatitis B

Background and Objective: Since the distribution of HBV genotypes in patients with hepatitis B indicates the predominant genotypes in specific geographical area, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of S gene mutations in high-risk children with maternal HBV in southeastern Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study was performed from March 2019 to March 2020...
