HBV viral titre ranged between 4,145 and 68,011,800 DNA copies/ml. Conclusion: There was a high occurrence of viral titre in the population studied. High viral load is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. A policy earmarked to combat this virus in Nigeria is hereby solicited....

We examined TDF treatment (vs. untreated) as the main exposure, with HBV DNA viral load (VL), ALT, elastography score and eGFR as the main outcomes. Baseline is defined as the start date of treatment for TDF group and the beginning of clinical follow-up for the untreated group. We plan...
(e.g., HIV infected) and when there is a high maternal viral load (Jhaveri et al., 2015, p. ofv089;Ohto et al., 1994, pp. 744–750). Assessment of infant HCV infection should be done by testing with a sensitive quantitative method such as HCV-RNA real-timePCR, given there will...
One case of Hepatitis C infection (1.1%) was detected, confirmed with serological test and RNA HCV viral load; the risk factor was past history of major surgery. The prevalence of HCV infection detected by rapid antibody test in a population with risk factors was 1.1%. 展开 ...

Chronic HBV infection should be staged by assessment for hepatitis fibrosis/inflammation, HBV viral load, HBeAg status, antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) status, and liver function test results. Appropriate interventions depend on disease stage. cDefined as positive anti-HBs, negative HBsAg, and ...
Gold standard quantitative nucleic acid tests for diagnosis of viral diseases are currently limited to implementation in laboratories outside of the clinic. An instrument for conducting nucleic acid testing at the point-of-care (POC) that is easily opera
1. We were unable to amplify complete HBV genomic sequences from any sample from HBV/HDV coinfected patients, perhaps due to low HBV viral load in these samples. Thus, phylogenetic tree in Fig. 1 contains HBV sequences from this study obtained from monoinfected patients only. The phylo...
