چکیده
conclusions in our study, only hbv genotype d was found among all the positive hbsag and occult hbv infection. moreover, high prevalence (40.7%) of occult hbv infection was determined among patients suffered from cryptogenic cirrhosis. results eleven (40.7%) out of 27 hbv cryptogenic cirrhosis and all 11 hbsag-positive patients were positive for hbv dna. the seroprevalences of hepatitis b virus hbe antigen, anti-hbe and anti-hbc antibodies among the cryptogenic cirrhosis patients were 5 (18.5%), 1 (3.7%), and 5 (20.83), and among hbsag-positive patients were 6 (54.5%), 5 (45.5%), and 7 (63.6%), respectively. patients and methods thirty-eight patients with liver cirrhosis, including 11 (28.9%) hbsag-positive patients and 27 (71.1%) patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis participated in this study. the mean age of the patients at the time of cirrhosis diagnosis was 54.85 years (range 26-75 years). all patients were anti-hcv and anti-hiv negative. for all the samples, the serological enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was performed for hbv markers including hbsag, hbcab, hbeag, hbeab tests. the common primer of s region of hbv was used for nested pcr. the pcr products of the positive individuals were sequenced for genotyping and subtyping of hbv. objectives this study aimed to determine both occult hepatitis b infection and hbv genotypes among cirrhotic patients. background hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is a worldwide public health problem. nine hbv genotypes (a-i) have been already discovered. hbv genotypes are important both in the clinical manifestation of disease and treatment response. moreover, hbv dna without hbs (hepatitis b surface)-antigenemia was detected in some patients with chronic hepatitis (occult hepatitis). there is little information about hbv genotypes and its relation to occult infection despite the importance of this infection in khuzestan province.

Hepatitis B virus Genotyping Among Patients With Cirrhosis
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide public health problem. Nine HBV genotypes (A-I) have been already discovered. HBV genotypes are important both in the clinical manifestation of disease and treatment response. Moreover, HBV DNA without HBs (Hepatitis B surface)-antigenemia was detected in some patients with chronic hepatitis (occult hepatitis). There is little informat...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
متن کاملEvaluation of miR-101 Level in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Liver Cirrhosis
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: MiRNAs are small RNAs that are expressed in most eukaryotes, and can regulate gene expression by attaching to the 3’ end of target mRNA. MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) post-transcriptional regulation is important for host-virus interactions. In addition, miR-101 has a tumor suppressive role in liver cancer and metastasis, an...
متن کاملMutations at Nucleotide 1762, 1764 and 1766 of Hepatitis B Virus X Gene in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B and Hepatitis B-Related Cirrhosis
Abstract Background and objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus with high tendency toward hepatic tissue. There are currently about 3 million HBV-infected people and 350 to 400 million chronic carriers of this virus in the world. X protein plays a role in the over-expression of oncogenes, carcinogenicity of liver cells and overlaps with the basal co...
