Silvia SookoianHepatitis B Annual 2007 4(1):12-23Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is very common, with over 350 million chronically infected people worldwide. This review plans to answer some key questions regarding hepatitis B infection during pregnancy, in order to provide healthcare professionals with updated information on the current knowledge in this field. The focus is on the following topics: the main risk factors associated with vertical transmission of HBV in pregnant women who are chronically infected, the influence of pregnancy on HBV viral load, and the effect of pregnancy on the clinical course of chronic he...

Rajib Kishore Hazam, Premashis KarHepatitis B Annual 2007 4(1):24-39Drug resistance can be considered as a natural response to the selective pressure of the drug. An increase in HBV DNA can be a good indicator of the presence of a resistant HBV mutant population. The nucleoside analogues Lamivudine, Adefovir, Entecavir etc. are oral drugs used for Hepatitis B viral infection. Resistance to HBV drugs arises due to mutations in the polymerase gene. The HBV polymerase can be divided into 4 domains: 1) the terminal protein, 2) the variable spacer domain, 3) the polymerase/reverse transcriptase and 4) the RNase. Drug resistance...

Shivaram Prasad SinghHepatitis B Annual 2007 4(1):55-60Hepatitis B vaccine can induce transient hepatitis B surface antigen positivity not only in adult hemodialysis patients but also in normal adults and children. Hence hepatitis B vaccinees may be mistaken for confirmed hepatitis B surface antigen-positive carrier. Hence blood donors should not donate blood in this early post-vaccination period and renal dialysis patients should not be screened for hepatitis B surface antigen for at least 21 to 28 days after hepatitis B vaccination. These guidelines could prevent individuals in the early post-inoculation period from bein...

Sudeep Khanna, Rakesh TandonHepatitis B Annual 2007 4(1):107-117HBV infection is a major public health problem. Acute viral hepatitis B is successfully cleared in more than 95% of immunocompetent patients. HBV infection can cause severe acute hepatitis which can progress to acute liver failure. The purpose of this review is to discuss the immune response in acute hepatitis B and the possible role of HBV genotypes in development of severe acute HBV related hepatitis, define severe acute hepatitis B and to look at the role of the available antivirals in this clinical setting.

Revill Peter, Locarnini StephenHepatitis B Annual 2005 2(1):74-92Inadequate and/or inappropriate host immune responses, are mainly responsible for the liver disease of chronic hepatitis B. Infection of the hepatocyte with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) results in very high levels of viral replication without actually killing the infected cell directly. The HBV uses reverse transcription to copy its DNA genome and because of a lack of proof-reading capability, mutant viral genomes or quasi species, emerge continually. All the selection pressures, both endogenous (host immune clearance) and exogenous (vaccines and antiviral dru...
