Objectives: We assessed the percentage of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection diagnosed by preoperative screening, and estimated the cost of screening. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed elective surgical cases in our-maxillofacial surgery department between April 2012 and March 2015. We also compared the number of HB...

CONTEXT Due to the close relationship between the immune system and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, it is essential to monitor patients with current or past HBV infection under any type of immunosuppression. Cancer chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapies in autoimmune diseases, and immunosuppression in solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients are the major reasons for hepatiti...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B immune globulins (HBIG) in combination with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) are effectively used for the prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT). However, associated treatment costs for HBIG are exceedingly high. METHODS Fresh frozen plasma obtained from blood donors with high anti-HBs levels (hyperimmune plasma, HIP) containing at...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) occurred after two potential episodes of exposure through needle- and syringe-sharing in Australian prisons, and to examine use of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against HIV infection in the prison setting. DESIGN Cohort study of potential contacts of two pris...

The prevention of the spread of hepatitis B is of utmost importance to the dental profession. The mechanisms of transmission of the virus between practitioner and patient are discussed and preventive options outlined. Despite conscientious history taking, not all virus carriers can be identified without laboratory screening of the entire population. Despite specific precautions high risk exposu...

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is an effective treatment for hepatitis B, including postexposure prophylaxis of HBV infection, prevention reinfection in liver transplant patients, and reducing sexual transmission. This study investigated the synthesis human IgG antibodies that specifically target HBsAg subtype adr CHL-YN cells, a newly established cell line grows faster than CHO-K1. To achie...
