Introduction: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been declining nationwide throughout Brazil since the introduction of
universal child vaccination. The vaccine is currently available for all ages. However, most of the adult population has not been vaccinated and may
still be suscepti...
Para avaliar o impacto das coinfecções pelos vírus T-linfotrópicos humanos 1 e 2 (HTLV-1/-2) e vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) nas hepatites virais B e C, e analisar estratégias para melhoria e expansão do diagnóstico das infecções por HTLV-1/2, realizou-se este estudo. O impacto nas he...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Brazil's western Amazon basin has the highest prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the country. Coinfection with hepatitis D virus (HDV) is also endemic. To estimate the prevalence of HBV and HDV markers in a population inhabiting the northwest portion of Mato Gross...

The aim of this study was to propose a stem cell therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) based on plasma exchange (PE) for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection and examine its safety and efficacy. Sixty patients (n=20 in each group) were randomized to PE ...

BACKGROUND Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) - characterized by the absence of detectable HBsAg in the presence of HBV DNA - represents a potential threat for blood safety. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted with the aim to investigate the serological and molecular characterization of occult HBV infecti...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: HBV and HIV have identical transmission routes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HBV in HIV patients and to detect the presence of occult HBV infection. METHODS: All samples were tested for serology markers and using qPCR. RESULTS: This study included 232...

El virus de la hepatitis delta (VHD) es un virus satélite del virus de la hepatitis B (VHB), dado que requiere el antígeno de superficie del VHB (HBsAg) para la producción de partículas virales infecciosas. Se han caracterizado ocho genotipos del VHD, con una distribución geográfica relacionada con...
Objective: to compare the direct cost, from the perspective of the Unified Health System, of assessing the post-vaccination serological status with post-exposure management for hepatitis B among health care workers exposed to biological material. Method: cross-sectional study and cost-related, based on ...
ABSTRACT Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has decreased AIDS incidence and mortality, rendering comorbidities, such as hepatitis B more relevant for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Since antiretroviral drugs may also inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, analyzing t...
