HBsAg
- core antigen
- internal part
HBcAg
- part of the same capsid polypeptide as the HBcAg
HBeAg
Pathogenesis
- replication occurs in hepatic cells and released by exocytosis

MOT: parenteral, sexual intercourse (esp. anal)
Hepadnaviridae
- inflammatory condition of the liver
- manifested by jaundice
- may be asymptomatic
- with carrier state
- may be chronic and may lead to cirrhosis
Hepatitis
Host defense
- antibody and cell mediated responses are not protective
Hepadnaviridae
Diagnosis

5 diseases of Adenoviridae
Acute Febrile Pharyngitis, Pharyngeal, . Acute Respiratory Disease, Pneumonia, Gastroenteritis
- common to children
- indistinguishable from common colds and flu
Acute Febrile Pharyngitis
- conjunctival Fever
Pharyngeal
- common to military recruits
- with rashes
Acute Respiratory Disease
- complication
Pneumonia
Host defense
- no antibodies produced
- cytotoxic Tcells kill infected cells early
Adenoviridae
Epidemiology
