Q

HBsAG
testing of
not infectious but can
chronic carriers
complete viral clearance
ONLY MARKER
can be pos?

A

hep B surface protein
testing all infect blood units
not infect but can indicate presence
chronic carriers potentially infect
complete viral clearance pt develops ab to HBsAG

ONLY MARKER DETECTED W NEW INFECTION
can be pos 10-20dys post vacc

Q

HBsAb

A

suggests past infection
future immunity

+ recov from acute/chronic
aquired immunity

= not recovered/inadeq immune response

17
Q

Anti-HBc Total
differentiates?
when what things are negative?

A

diff between recent/chronic HBV
when HBsAg and Anti-HB markers are negative

18
Q

Anti-HBc IgM
pts w …have low
exacerbation

A

specific for acute HBV
pts w chronic HBV may presist at low levels
exacerbation of chronic may also test positive

19
Q

HBe Ag envelope Ag
in serum w
anti…..incidates

A

assoc w core of virus
in serum w acute/chronic
correlates w infectious particles
Anti-HBe indicates low infectivity

20
Q

HBcAg + HBsAg indicates?

A

severe course

21
Q

HBeAb

A

during recovery can be detectable
for years
low levels indicate low risk

22
Q

Chronic infection w Hep B
how many recover ?
indicator of?
how many have had since childhood?

msot effective treatment?

A

90% recover within 6 mos
indicator of Anti-HBs
25% have had since childhood

vaccination most effective

23
Q

4 phases of Hep B

A

immune tolerance
clearance
low/non replicating
reactivation

24
Q

Active replicating Hep B

A

HBeAg (+) Anti-HBe (=)

25
Q

Hep C
non..
genome?
transmission?
inapprop?

A

Non A/B hep
RNA Genome
transmitted parentally
inappr screen of blood products

26
Q

Hep C testing

A

Anti-HCV EIA
PCR for rna

27
Q

Acute Hep C

A

Acute: mild/asympt

high rate of progression to chronic cirrhosis
leading cause of transplants

28
Q

Chronic Hep C

A

high risk liver cirrhosis
safe vaccine unlikely

29
Q

Hep D
needs what to replicate

A

delta hep
defective RNA needs HBV to replicate (HBsAg)

most have HBV to have illess w hep D

30
Q

Hep E
nucleotide?
incub?
feces?
transmission?

animals?
similar to?
vaccine?

A

non envelope RNA
incub 21-42 days
feces post infect 7 days
fecal oral/waterborne

pigs/cows

similar to HAV
no vaccine

31
Q

Hep F

A

enteric
primates

32
Q

A

infect humans no disease

33
Q

Other things that can cause hepatitis

A

Cytomegalo virus
epsteinbarr
SARS COVI 2
