## Abstract Control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hemodialysis populations is a major public health priority, but the preferred methods to prevent and rapidly detect HCV outbreaks in these populations remains subject to debate. We enrolled 231 hemodialysis patients at three dialysis centers in Chia
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVβDNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBVβDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
## Abstract The epidemiology of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for health planners and service providers. A crossβsectional study was conducted to investigate the seroprevalence and associated risk factors for markers of HBV (HBsAg) and antiβHCV among hemodialysis
Occult Hepatitis B virus (o-HBV) infection has been reported in HB surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative liver donors whose risk of transmitting HBV justifies a specific prophylaxis in liver recipients. The clinical significance of o-HBV infection in HBsAg-negative recipients and their need for prophylax
The sera of 722 children and adolescents without overt liver disease were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antiHBs and anti-hepatitis B core anti-HBc; 658 of the sera were also tested for anti-hepatitis A virus anti-HAV. Except for the "passive" antibody peak observed in babies, the a
