Immune Response to Hepatitis B Vaccine in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Despite the use of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines and preventive measures, infection with HBV remains a major global health problem. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of acquiring HBV infections from shared dialysis equipment, increased exposure to blood products, and immunodeficiency associated with CKD (1, 2). In addition, they may be more likely to develop...

 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and its sequelae which include cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is a major public health problem throught the world.The WHO strategy for effective control of HBV infection is vaccination with the surface antigen of virus(HBsAg).The results obtained from a large number of studies demonstrated that the vaccine induces a protective antibody resonse (anti-HB...

Immune Response to Standard Hepatitis B Vaccination in HIV-Infected Patients

Background: Due to their similar routes of transmission, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection occurs considerably. HBV infection progresses more rapidly in HIV-infected patients. Therefore, HBV vaccination of all non-immune HIV infected patients is recommended. On the other hand, HIV-infected subjects have suboptimal responses to HBV vaccine. In this study...
