of anti-HBc with a negative HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV surface antibody (anti-HBs The prevalence of isolated positive anti-HBc; The most effective method of identifying which patients have had previous Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection; The prevalence of false positive anti-HBc. HBV...
De novo infection rates were 19%, 2.6% and 2.8% in HBsAg-negative recipients under hepatitis B immunoglobulin, lamivudine and their combination, respectively. Conclusions Liver grafts from anti-HBc positive donors can be safely used, preferentially in HBsAg-positive or anti-HBc/anti-HBs positive ...
All samples were negative for HBV-DNA ( n =241). We found a significant association between the anti-HBe and anti-HBs titers ( P =0.026). Most individuals from a low endemic area for HBV have shown anti-HBs titers that confer immunity against HBV, even though they were negative for ...
19 - - + - (1) atypical acute infection; (2) in the early stage of infection before the emergence of anti -HBc, HBsAg titer was low and negative, or false positive. 20 + + + atypical acute infection. 21 + + + acute HBV infection metaphase. 22 - + - + - HBV infection has ...
The use of rituximab has been associated with increased risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative and antihepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive. We aim to determine the rate of HBV reactivation in this group of patien...
HBsAg immune complexes are newly infected with different subtypes. 19 - - + - (1) atypical acute infection; (2) in the early stage of infection before the emergence of anti -HBc, HBsAg titer was low and negative, or false positive. 20 + + + atypical acute infection. 21 + + + acute...
In one study, HBV DNA was detected in African specimens negative for HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBs, HBeAg and anti-HBe (Mphahlele and Moloto, 2002), while in another study, HBV DNA was demonstrated in patients with an “anti-HBs alone” serological pattern (Owiredu et al., 2001). Despite...
Predictors of the isolated hepatitis B core antibody pattern in HIV-infected and -uninfected men in the multicenter AIDS cohort study. Background. The significance of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) without hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs)......
an anti-HBs titer of >or=10 IU/L within 4 weeks of the first vaccination.The overall anamnestic response rate was 16% and was not significantly different between subjects who tested positive for anti-HBc (24%) and those who tested negative for anti-HBc (10%) before vaccination (P=.18)...
