Q

A

Yes. an inapparent one.

so bored. heres a story: i had a job as a swim coach in 8th grade for little kids. one time when i was walking home from work this group full of high school girls stopped and asked if i wanted a ride. my house was 3 minutes from where i worked, but being dumb, i agreed. so i got into their car and asked them to take me home. they drove the opposite way from home. i was scared, but it ended up being an awesome evening. got some froyo action, pizza, saw a movie. they dropped me off later after the escapades. my gf at the time (the one with IBS lol) was pissed but i’ll never forget that evening. dont even know their names. never saw them again. awwwww memories. I’M SO COOL.

chronic hepatitis

56
Q

What % of the US population has HBV?

A

1/20 people

57
Q

What % of the world population has HBV?

58
Q

What is the biggest potential cancerous outcome from HBV infection?

A

Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma (PHC)

59
Q

A

blood, semen, milk, amniotic fluid, and vaginal and menstrual secretions.

60
Q

What % of all cases of PHC are related to HBV?

61
Q

True or False: children usually have less severe acute infection Sx than adults.

62
Q

What % of HBV infected individuals develop chronic hepatitis?

63
Q

This form of chronic hepatitis occurs in 1/3 of the indivudals, and is characterized by continued destruction of the liver, leading to scarring, cirrhosis, liver failure, or PHC.

A

Chronic active hepatitis

64
Q

This form of hepatitis occurs in 23 of the individuals, usually found accidently on a blood screening, and the biggest soruce for the spread of infection because these indiviuals don’t have Sx.

A

Chronic passive hepatitis

65
Q

The HBsAg particles can form immune complexes with Ab’s leading to which type-III hypersensitivity reactions?

A

Rash, polyarthritis, fever, acute necrotizing vasculitis, and glomerulonephritis

66
Q

When is HBsAg detected in the blood during an HBV infection?

A

Only when there is an actively replicating virus.

67
Q

After what time of detection of HBsAg can we say an HBV infection is chronic?

68
Q

The detection of HBsAb in the blood indicates what?

69
Q

The HBs window is the period of time when what 2 factors are not very present?

A

When the HBsAg can no longer be detected and HBsAb cannot be detected yet

so like if u draw labs and the Ag and Ab are low or 0, u can’t immediately say this person is vaccinated or he doesnt have an infection. u could be in the HBs window and have to do further screening.

70
Q

So during the HBs window, which Ab can u screen for to see at least there was a recent infection

71
Q

During what time of the infection can u see the HBeAg?

A

With active viral replication (acute and chronic active)

72
Q

During what time of the infection can u see the HBeAb?

A

Chronic infection

73
Q

Which is the only marker screened for in the early infection?

Q

During what time period can u give hep B immune globulin after exposure?

A

Within a week (or to infants with HBsAg+ mothers)

75
Q

Which RT inhibitor can u give to Tx HBV?

A

Iamivudine

76
Q

How do adefovir dipivoxil and famciclovir Tx HBV?

A

they’re nucleoside analogues

77
Q

How long can u take interferon-a for the Tx of HBV?

How does HCV prevent the death of the host cell and promote a persistent infection?

A

it inhibits apoptosis and interferon-a

85

Fulminant hepatitis

99
Q
