Detection of HBV DNA in HBsAg Negative Normal Blood Donors

Background: The risk of infection by transfusion-transmitted viruses has been reduced remarkably. However, a zero-risk blood supply is still desirable. The screening for antibody to HBc (anti-HBc) has been shown as an alternative test for the detection of HBV infection. Objective: The main aim of this study was to evaluate HBV infection markers and the potential value of anti-HBc testing of blo...

HBV Genotyping in HBsAg-Positive Blood Donors from Southwestern Iran

I most Asian countries, with a general carrier rate of 5%–35%, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is hyperendemic (1). HBV is a member of Hepadnaviridae, a family of enveloped hepatotropic DNA viruses. It has a circular, partially doublestranded DNA of 3200 nt (2). This virus can cause severe liver disease with eventual progression to cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (3). HBV...

Correlation between HBsAg quantitative assay results and HBV DNA levels in chronic HBV

BACKGROUND Viral load has been used to diagnose and monitor patients who are being treated for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The Diagnosis methods are molecular-based and expensive. Quantitation of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by automated chemiluminescent micro-particle immunoassay has been proposed to be a surrogate marker. Quantitating HBV DNA levels molecularly is expensive; thus, a che...

Association between HBe-Ag and HBV-DNA level in HBsAg positive chronic carriers

Background: Viral hepatitis is one of common infectious diseases and known as health problem around the world. Present cross-sectional study was performed to determine the association between HBeAg and HBV-DNA in patients who referred to Royan Institute for Reproductive Biomedicine and Amiralmomenin Hospital (Islamic Azad University) between 2012 and 2015. Materials and methods: In this cross-s...

Molecular evaluation of HBV core gene mutations in asymptomatic HBV infected blood donors in Iran.

Mutations in the core promoter and precore regions of HBV cause down-regulation of HBeAg. These mutations are associated with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and Hepato Cellular Carcinoma (HCC). This study was carried out to sequence analysis of HBV core gene in HBsAg- positive blood donors in Iran. A total of 50 HBsAg- positive blood donor samples were examined in this study. Serological markers ...
