Aim: A recently discovered DNA virus (SEN virus) has been assumed to be responsible for posttransfusion hepatitis in humans. Phylogenetic analysis of the SEN virus (SEN-V) has revealed the existence of 8 different genotypes (A-H). SEN-V genotype-H (SENV-H) and SEN-V genotype-D (SENV-D) have been described as most closely associated with post-transfusion hepatitis. So far, it is unclear whether ...

conclusions association with sex, genotype and clinical symptoms revealed that the pre-s1 orf deletion occurred in 40% , 40%,and 20% of genotypes b,c, and d respectively, and 80% of the female population, of which all but one were diagnosed with chronic hepatitis b. additionally, several mutations were found in the bcp region with the following incidence rate; c1653 t (8.6%), a1752 g (10.8%),17...

In 1967, it was reported that experimental inoculation of serum from a surgeon (G.B.) with acute hepatitis into tamarins resulted in hepatitis. In 1995, two new members of the family Flaviviridae, named GBV-A and GBV-B, were identified in tamarins that developed hepatitis following inoculation with the 11th GB passage. Neither virus infects humans, and a number of GBV-A variants were identified...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been classified into ten genotypes (A-J) based on genome sequence divergence, which is very important for etiological and clinical investigations. HBV genotypes have distinct geographical distributions worldwide. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of HBV genotypes among Azerbaijani patients with chronic hepatitis B, came...

Background and Aim: Viral infections, drugs, metabolic disorders, autoimmune processes can cause hepatitis, which is a diffuse inflammatory condition of the liver. Hepatitis E (HEV) hepatitis A (HAV) viruses are most common causes acute viral (AVH). AVH chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients were studied to determine whether they infected with various hepatotropic non-hepatotropic viruses. Patie...

Hepatic viscerotomy of paraffin-preserved old specimens, collected in the period from 1934 to 1967, were analyzed by immunohistochemical assays to detect hepatitis B, hepatitis D, dengue and yellow fever virus antigens. The material belongs to the Yellow Fever Collection, Department of Pathology, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the cases were diagnosed at that time according ...

Objective: This study aimed to determine the oral health of hepatitis B-infected individuals by comparing DMFT index, which is recommended World Health Organization for assessing health, and extraction root canal treatment rates with those healthy patients. Materials Method: The panoramic radiographs 212 213 aged 18-74 years who applied dental between January June 2018 were evaluated. Using rad...
