Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
Bitte Gesundheituntersuchung mit Screening auf #HBV und #HCV anbieten.
Tatsächlich scheint es Kollegen und Kolleginnen zu geben nicht wissen das man diese präventiv Laborleistung ohne Budgetbelastung machen kann.

Genotype switching in hepatitis B virus as a potential risk for vertical transmission from mother-to-child was first reported
This study reports #HBV #MTCT despite reduced maternal viral loads & infant #immunoprophylaxis, showing #ViralLoad is key but not the sole factor; genotype switching and #quasispecies diversity reveal added mechanisms in transmission. #PublicHealth

Viral genotype changes can influence transmission pathways. Research on hepatitis B virus genotype switching highlights implications for vertical transmission and infection risk.

Is Hepatitis B more dangerous than HIV? Compare the infectiousness, mortality rates, and health risks of HBV and HIV. Learn which virus is harder to kill and how to protect yourself.

📊 CHB patients on Peg-IFN:
✅ HBsAg decline at wk24 & baseline HBsAg best predict functional cure.
✅ HBV RNA & HBeAg levels (wk12/24) best predict HBeAg loss.

British Association for Study of the #Liver discussion on #treatment & #cancer #surveillance for people living with #HBV - we should treat all who need surveillance, but surveillance not necessary for all on treatment. Important to unify clinical & public health approaches. 🧪 #BASL #BVHG #LiverSky
Among patients with #HIV, standardized protocols are necessary to ensure #HBV screening occurs before initiating antiretroviral therapy regimens that lack anti-HBV activity, including long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine.

Predicting PEG-IFN response in hepatitis B: HBsAg decline at week 24 best predicts functional cure. For HBeAg loss, HBV RNA & HBeAg levels at week 12 are key. Better markers = tailored therapy. #HBV #HepatitisB #LiverTwitter
Promising findings by Hiroshima University researchers. In chronic #HepatitisB #HepB, #HBV #RNA may better predict #livercancer risk than current markers, even when viral DNA is undetectable. This could help identify patients who need closer monitoring earlier. www.linkedin.com/posts/drmelv...

Infographic titled “New Hepatitis D Antibody Retesting by NHANES.” Two columns compare original vs retested anti-HDV results in HBV marker positive samples, 2007–2020. Original testing used the Diasorin ETI-AB-DELTAK-2 immunoassay and shows 23% anti-HDV positivity, 55 positives total. Retesting used the International Immunodiagnostics HDV Ab (IID HDV Ab) ELISA and shows less than 1% positivity, 2 positives total. The center panel highlights the large drop after retesting and asks whether retesting may underestimate true HDV prevalence.
Drastic shift in NHANES anti-HDV results after retesting (2007–2020). Original testing found 55 anti-HDV positive samples among HBV marker positive samples tested. Retesting found only 2. Is this fixing false positives, or missing true low-level anti-HDV signal? #NHANES #HDV #HBV #Hepatitis
