ABSTRACT Dried blood spot (DBS) may overestimate the viral RNA, mainly in patients
with low viral load (VL), due to proviral DNA and intracellular RNA. The Burnett and
HemaSpot provide integrated solutions for the collection, separation, and drying of
plasma from whole blood. This study aims to evalua...

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can be prevented by vaccination. Exposure to blood or body fluids poses a high risk of transmission of HBV in health care workers (HCWs). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of markers of exposure, susceptibility, and protection to HBV infection in H...
