Q

Addendum to EPIDEMIOLOGY

A
29
Q

What percentage of acute HBV in adults grows into chronic conditions

A

5%

30
Q

What percentage of acute HSV in children grow into Chronic condition

A

93%

31
Q

What are the advantage of those previously infected with HBV and cleared it completely?

A

It confers some kind of immunity against reoccurrence

32
Q

What is the reason why the carrier rate of HBsAg in this part of the world is in the increase?

A

This is because of it’s Perinatal transmission

33
Q

RISK FACTORs🔜🔜

A
34
Q

List the risk factors of HSV

A

Blood transfusion
Through needles/syringes
Tattooing
Perinatal
Multiple sexual partners

35
Q

MODE OF TRANSMISSION

A
36
Q

List the mode of transmission of HBV

A

▶️ Sexual transmission; having multiple sexual partners

Risk is 30%

◀️ Parenteral transmission; through IV; seen in patients having Hemophilia, renal dialysis,organ transplant.

Risk is 5%

▶️ unknown mode of transmission; 27%

37
Q

Why does perinatal hepatitis happen

A

This is due to the absence of exposure prophylaxis to mother’s before delivery, so they transmit to child

38
Q

Rate the percentage of infectiveness and chronicity ,when mother has positive HBsAg and HBeAg

A

70-90% are infected
90% becomes chronic carries…

This is because of the replicating and infective power of HBeAg

39
Q

What is the percentage of infectiveness and chronicity when mother has positive HBsAg

A

<10% of infant is infected

But 90% of infected infants are chronic carriers

40
Q

REPLICATION

A
41
Q

CLINICAL FEATURES 🔜🔜

Which age group in children are likely to have jaundice and in what percentage

A

> 5yrs

Percentage: 30-50%

44
Q

Which age group in children are not likely to have jaundice and in what percentage

A

<5yrs
Percentage= <10%

45
Q

At what percentage does acute phase lead to death

A

0.5-1%

46
Q

Using the age 5 yrs as a middle man which age is likely to have chronic infection and their percentage?

A

<5yrs

25-90%

47
Q

Using the age 5 yrs as a middle man which age is not likely to have chronic infection and their percentage?

A

> 5yrs

6-10%

Q

What percentage of premature mortality can be gotten from chronic liver disease

A

15-25%

49
Q

List the clinical presentation of HBV

A

Prodrome: fever, malaise, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.

50
Q

What are the features of Acute phase HBV

A

It is a new infection

Symptoms are more common in adults

Children are symptomatic

Infection resolves in someone in immunity

Infection can persist and continues into chronic phase

51
Q

What are the features of Chronic HBV infection

A

Individual carry it for more than 6months

Virus doesn’t develop anti- HBsAg

It’s a silent infection

Affects children more commonly

52
Q

What is the most common symptom of active carrier state in pts with HBV

A

Fatigue

53
Q

In inactive carrier state what amount of DNA copies are seen per mililiter

A

0-30,000copies

54
Q

GOALS OF ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HBV

Q

List the targets of sustained suppression of HBV replication

A
