When immunized early (3 days of age, n = 25), these infants had a response rate (defined as antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen titer > 10 mIU/ml) of 68%, whereas when the first vaccine was given at 1 month of age ( n = 25), a 96% response rate was noted, irrespective ...
Häufiger werden Mutationen des HBsAg bei reaktivierten okkulten HBV-Infektionen unter Immunsuppressionen, speziell der B‑Lymphozyten nachgewiesen [58]. Bemerkenswert ist ein Fall von Reaktivierung bei einem Lymphompatienten, der Jahre früher gegen HBV geimpft worden war, dann aber in ei...
was achieved in 20 patients (90.9%), the remaining two (9.1%) had partial virological response. HBV co-infection was found in five cases; they were kept on Entecavir during the course of treatment. All achieved SVR12 for HCV with decrease in titer of HBV. Even INF-experienced patients (...
The geometric mean antibody titer to hepatitis B surface antigen for infants who seroconverted was 200 mIU/mL. Nonresponders (NR) differed from responders (R) in birth weight (NR = 2090 g, R = 1560 g) gestational age (NR = 33 weeks, R = 31 weeks), and weight gain before vaccine ...
HCV titer was calculated by focus forming unit assay using HCV core antibody as shown earlier [30]. To confirm the early HCV infection, we performed immunostaining using anti-dsRNA antibody at 2 h of HCV infection and results show the substantial amount of dsRNA staining (Figure 1b) as ...
