False positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigen due to recent vaccination.
OBJECTIVE Hepatitis B is the most common viral hepatitis, potentially life threatening, with long term complications. Currently, vaccine is the most effective tool against hepatitis B infection. It is worthwhile mentioning that due to rampant use of hepatitis B vaccine (HBV), there have been concerns about hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) reactivity. This article aims to report the false pos...
متن کاملThe recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen vaccine in persons with HIV: is seroconversion sufficient for long-term protection?
A cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals with documented vaccine-induced hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) seroconversion was evaluated retrospectively to determine factors associated with loss of protective levels of HBsAb. After a median follow-up of 43 months, 111 of the 152 participants (73%) maintained protective levels of HBsAb. HIV RNA suppression at vaccina...
متن کاملImmune responses in patients with HIV infection after vaccination with recombinant Hepatitis B virus vaccine
BACKGROUND Patients with HIV infection are at risk of co-infection with HBV, as the routes of transmission are shared and thus immunization with HBV vaccine could be protective in them. The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of recombinant vaccine in treatment-naive HIV positive patients and healthy controls, and to dissect out differences if any, in different limbs of immune r...
متن کاملExpression of hepatitis B surface antigen with a recombinant adenovirus.
Early region 1 of the adenovirus type 5 genome was replaced with a DNA sequence containing the gene coding for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) flanked by the major late promoter from adenovirus 2 and processing and polyadenylylation signals from simian virus 40. In one type of hybrid virus only the adenovirus 2 major late promoter, including just 33 base pairs of the adenovirus type 2 t...
متن کاملProlonged hepatitis B surface antigenemia after vaccination.
Infection with hepatitis B virus can lead to serious long-term complications including chronic hepatitis B virus infection leading to hepatocellular carcinoma, liver failure, and death. We report a case of prolonged hepatitis B antigenemia after routine vaccination with Engerix B. A positive hepatitis B surface antigen was found when the individual donated blood 18 days after vaccination. This ...
