Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) reactivation may occur after the use of biologic agents. During the last decade, utilization of biologics has changed the fate of many treated for cancer, autoimmune and connective tissue disease, maintenance of transplanted organs, and the prevention of ...
Differentiating between an acute and chronic hepatitis B infection was often difficult. Large clinical studies initiated by Reiner Thomssen (Göttingen, Germany) in the 1970s showed that the interpretation of the IgM anti-HBc results obtained by the author was not as straightforward as most clinica...
5B). The anti-HBs titer exhibited a significant negative correlation with the proportion of CD24+CD38highBreg cells (r = -0.402, p = 0.042). Discussion With the optimization of hepatitis B antiviral-treatment strategies, the number of patients achieving HBsAg seroclearance has increased [11...
10 For dogs that recover from illness, a recent history of vaccination may complicate interpretation of acute and convalescent phase serology. In the absence of a vaccination history, a fourfold rise in titer over a 2- to 3-week period together with compatible clinical signs is supportive of ...
The interpretation is based on the qualitative test results for hepatitis A serology (anti-HAV, IgM anti-HAV, and HAV-RNA); the qualitative test results for hepatitis B serology (HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, IgM anti-HBc, HBeAg, and anti-HBe) and the quantitative test result for anti-HBs...

The titer of serum HBsAg was significantly reduced in chimpanzees used in an in vivo study demonstrating acute HCV superinfection in chronic HBV infection11,12. The routes of transmission of HBV and HCV are similar, and co-infection with both viruses is frequent, particularly in regions where ...
