Q

HDV

A
  • defective RNA virus
  • envelope: HBV surface antigen
  • need HBV for infection/replication
  • where HBV is present, (mediterranean, Russia, Africa, Amazon)
25
Q

HDV transmission

A

blood borne
-IDU, sexual

COINFECTION (acute infec w/ HBV and HDV)

SUPERINFECTION (chronic HBV carrier gets acute HDV –> chronic HDV … small amount get fulminant hepatitis

26
Q

HDV tx

A

none but prevented via HBV vaccination

no specific tx/complex

27
Q

HCV

A
  • flavivirus
  • ssRNA
  • genotypes 16-6
  • incubation: 2 mo. (LONG)
  • clinically mild infections
28
Q

HCV transmission

A

-blood borne (IVDU, medical/dental practices, sexual, transfusions, vertical mother–> child

29
Q

Which has vertical transmission more commonly

HCV or HBV

A

HBV

30
Q

acute hepatitis C outcomes w/ %

A

acute hepatitis –> 70% chronic HCV

30% recovery

31
Q

Everyone born between this time period should be screened for hep C

A

between 1945 and 1965

32
Q

when should HBV carriers w/ chronic hep C

A

treatment if in immune active phase

33
Q

HCV tx/vaccine

A

tx: yes
vaccine: NO

34
Q

past infection immunoglobulin

A

IgG

35
Q

IgM –> IgG shift around _ months

A

4 months

36
Q

Anti-HBs

protective or non-protective?

A

protective

via vaccination with HBsAg

37
Q

Anti-HCV

protective or non-protective?

A

non-protective

no vaccine against HCV

38
Q

viral antigens in blood means

A

virus is present in body

39
Q

anti-HAV is a combined capture assay of both

A

IgM

IgG

40
Q

HEV assays

A

poorly standardized

41
Q

HBV

A
  • dsDNA virus
  • blood borne
  • chronic infection: 5-10% of adults)
42
Q

Dane particle

A

HBV

  • outer lipoprotein envelope made of HBsAg
  • inside: genome, HBcAg, HBeAg
43
Q

window period

A

Both HBsAg and anti-HBs are in the blood but in immeasurably low amounts

check anti-HBc IgM

44
Q

What is the best way to dx early HBV infection?

A

test for anti-HBc IgM Abs

earliest host response to HBV infection, present during window period

45
Q

Anti-HBc IgM

A

first antibody to be positive AND positive during the “window period” when HBsAg has disappeared and Anti-HBs has not yet appeared

46
Q

Acute HBV outcomes w/ %

A

90% –> recovery (Anti-HBs+)

10% –> chronic HBV (HBsAg) ***age-dep

1% –> fulminant

47
Q

Anti-HBc IgG

protective or non-protective?

A

non-protective

48
Q

The presence of ____ in the blood is the main marker of HBV infection. It appears during the _______ period and remains positive as long as there is _______.

A

HBsAg

appears during the latter part of the incubation

+ as long as there is active infection

49
Q

HDV dx
