HBV
hepadnavirdiae family
enveloped DNA virus
double stranded circular DNA genome
replicates through RNA intermediate
only infects humans and apes
DNA polymerase is key enzyme in replication
cccDNA
covalently closed ciruclar DNA
inside nucleus
serves as template for transcription of viral RNA in HBV
5-50 copies/hepatocyte
stable form of viral DNA that is most resisiant to antiviral therapy and host immunologic response
HBV
50 nm
double-shelled
orginially claaed the Dane particles
endogenous DNA polymerase
HBsAG
envelope antigen
HBcAg
core antigen
HBeAg
nucleocapsid antigen
HBV transmission
sexually via semen, vaginal fluid, saliva
patenterally via blood/serum/wound
perinatal
8 HBV genotypes
A - US & Europe
B & C - Asia
D - mediterrnean & middle east
genotype A
HBeAg (nucleocapsid antigen) have better response to INF

only time consider gentypic testing
HBV infection
most are transient
recurrent infection > 6 months = chronic HBV infection
acute hepaititis
all same symptoms except HBC is usually asymptomatic
N/V
abdominal pain
anorexia
fever
diarrhea
light, clay colored stools
dark urine
jaundice
chronic HBV
failure of host immune response
90% of newborns and immunocompromised
30% of children

usually asymptomatic compared to acute infection
HBV incubation
60-90 days
HsAg
1st marker of active HBV infection
Pregos with HBV
passive active immunoprophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin and Hep B vaccine at birth
tx HBV with
Peg-INF
NRTIs (entricibatime (FTC), LAMIVUDINE (3tc) TENOFAVIR (TDF)

adafavir
entecarivr
all have to be renally dosed because all metabolized renally
targe HBV polymerase which is responsible for priming of reverse transcription, reverse transcription, and chaperone
PEG-INF
known benefit in gentorype A, compensated cirrhotic patients, low serum HBV DNA, and minimal liver fibrosis
lamivudine
3TC
NRTI
can use in HIV & HBV
use in pregos and decompensated cirrohosis
adenovir
activity agaisnt wild-type HBV and LAM-resisitant HBV.

not potent
causes renal tubular injury
entecavir
has to be used with HAART because has activity agaisnt HIV (cause resistance)
potent inhibitor of HBV polymerase
LESS NEPHROTOXIC
Telbivudine
only has HBV activity
tx not indicated for
Alt is low
HBV DNA is low
no histologic evidence of viral disease
Hep B vaccine
contains HBsAg
3 doses at 0,1,&6 months
indicated for all health care workers
boosters are not currently recommended
HBV
leading cause of chronic hepaittis, cirrhosis, and heptocellurl carcinoma
HBV incubation
4-10 weeks
followed by symptomatic pahse when ALT levels spike
then serogentative conversion to anti-HepBcAg (core antigen)
anti-Hbc
indicates acute/chronic infection
Hep B vaccine
active immunity
Hep B immunoglobulin
temporary passive immunity
dose 0.06 mg/kg
Hep A & E
transient infection followed by resolution
Hep B, C, & D
cause life long persistent infection with ongoing viral replication in liver and persistent viremia
HepC chronic infection
85% of patients upon exposure
HCV
linear single stranded RNA viruse of flavividae family
1 trillion virons/day
6 genotypes
transmission of Hcv
BLOOD
intranasal (cocaine)
percutaneous or permucosal (perinatal/anal sex)
IVDA is most common transmission
HCV
decreasing in incidence
increase morbitity and mortality
chronic infection causes 10,000 deaths/year
factors that increase fibrosis
alcohol
HIV co-infection
steatosis (fatty liver disease)
age > 40 yr
Dx Hcv
HCV ab and HCV RNA in the blood

vaccinate Hep A & B
tx for 6-12 months with PEG-INF
cure for HCV
SVR
lack of detectable HCV RNA in the blood 6 moths after stopping tx
INF
inhibits viral replication in host cells, suppresses cell proliferation and cause immunodialtion
PEG-INF increase t1/2, reduces clearance and extends therapuetic action
-pegltron(2b)
-pegasys(2a)
tx HCV
PEG-INF
Qweek at same time of day in thigh/abdomen
ribavirn
synthetic nucleoside anaolgue
activity for RNA/DNA viruses
monotherapy not effetive
enhances viral clearance with INF
ADMINISTER WITH FOOD
renally dosed
INF AEs
pyschiatric AEs
monitor for depression
ribavarin DIs
no ddi(don't do it!!!) causes lactic acidosis/pancreatitis/liver decompsition

stadvudine increase lactic acidosis w/ribavarin
Ziduvudine increases anemia and nuetropenia
HCV
most common blood born infection
dx HCV
reactive enzyme immunoassay for anti HCV
genotype I for HCV
has best tx response!
HDV
cannot replicate
small subviral agen
encapsultaed by HBsAg
requires presecence of HBV to provide envelope protein because it does not encode for it
dx HDV
