Who is more likely to get crhonic infection
Those who dont' /cant have good CTL immune response. Ie this is why babies c get chronic

Whos is the Active Recombinant Vac indic for?
Routine for all infants and children
--Vacc of high risk adults
Though babies won't be having sex and using needles, this vac is indicated because of the Chronic Nature of Hep B in children IF they get infected.
Whos is the Passive Vac given to
HBIG for post-exosure along with Active Vaccine
--health care workers, infants born to HBV-infected mothers
Moving onto Hepatitis D (delta) Virus?

Not really a virus, jsut pieces of one

What is Helper Virus for HDV to infect?
Hep B is delta viruses helper
--Need HBV as a helper to code its surface protein

Therefore, what sort of infxn is this?
Coinfection or SuperInfection
What sort of nucleic acid does HDV have?

What are its 2 important Antigens?
ssRNA

HDV Ag: derived from HDV
HBsAg; surface Ag; derived from HBV
Modes of Transmission for HDV

What is likely if you contract B and D at same time
Coinfection= Severe Acute Dzz
