4. When do clinical signs show up?
5. Who gets the active vaccine?
6. Who gets the passive vaccine?
1. hepaDNA viridae, enveloped (partially) dsDNA
2. blood/semen, to liver
3. Damage to liver cells is immune mediated (due to release of toxic substances from infiltrating mononuclear cell and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs)
4. When liver damage ensues clinical signs occur
5. children, infants, high-risk
6. health care workers
Hep B:
General serum marker of infection: why?
Recovery/immunity to HBV by itself vs found with other Abs:
Marker of acute infection:
Marker of past/chronic infection:
active replication:
general: HBsAg- surface is what body sees first "s"
Recovery/immunity: anti-HBsAb (alone = vaccination) (with other Ab's = recovery)
acute: anti-HBc IgM
chronic: anti-HBc IgG
active replication: HBeAg, HBV-DNA
Serum findings in active infections of Hep B?

Serum findings in recovery?

Serum findings in chronic persistent?

Chronic active?
HBsAg, anti-HBcAg IgM

anti-HBsAg, anti-HBcAg IgG

HBsAg, anti-HBcAg IgG, anti-HBeAg

HBsAg+, HBeAg, HBcAg IgG, DNA Pol.
Which hepatitis often co-infects with Hep B?

What type of virus?

risk group?

Serologic dx? Which ones are more likely in chronic vs acute?
Hep D

ssRNA, unclassified

IVDA's and partners

anti-HDV IgM (high in chronic) also found in acute, anti-HDV IgG (late in acute), HDV Ag
Hep C:
Family, type of virus?

animal reservoir?

Transmission? 90% of who will get this?

commonly causes _________ infections.

leading cause of ______________.
Flavivirus, +ssRNA

humans, chimps

injection, needle stick, sexual, 90%- drug users

chronic

liver transplantation
What are the "serum transmitted" Hep viruses?
B and D
HBV Ag or anti found from (acute infection)...
a. 4-24 weeks
b. 6-32 weeks
c. 32+ weeks
d. 6+ weeks
a. HBsAg
b. IgM anti-ABc
c. Anti-Hbs
d. Total anti- HBc
Factors that promote progression/severity of Hep C:

Ability to clear virus depends on ______ response.
EtOH, age, HIV, male, HBV

T-cell (CD4, CD8)
Which hepatitis is not person-person transmitted?
Type of virus?
Related to what virus?
Best way to prevent Hep E infection?
Hep E
NANB hep virus ,non-eveloped RNA genome
similar to Calciviruses
watch for contaminated H2O
Name the type of virus for the following...
a. AKA infectious hepatitis
b. replicates via RNA intermediate
c. High risk sexual drug abusers
a. HAV- Hep A
b. HBV- Hep B
b. HDV- Hep D
Types of HBV chronic infections?

Incubation period?

More likely to develop chronic infection at what age?
Chronic persistent- can still transmit but not symptomatic
Chronic active- symptomatic hepatitis

- 100 days (about)

- 0-5 yrs old
For Acute HBV infections at what times would you see...
a. HBeAg
b. Anti- HBe
a. 4-12 weeks
b. 12+ weeks
1. needs HBV as a helper to code its surface protein

2. Worrisome of mortalities in pregos
1. Hep D

2. hep E
How does Hep D create Super-infection vs. coinfection...
Which is usually acute vs. chronic?
Co-infection usually acute- D got while getting B

Super- usually chronic after already having B you get D
For superinfection of HDV how do you prevent?

How do you cure/prevent coinfection
stop shitty behavior to prevent developing super infection

- Coinfection if you cure B you cure D
What serology studies find for Hep E?
anti- HEV IgG, anti HEV IgM, viral detection
What is the diagnostic process for HCV?
1. anti- HCV first with ELISA
2. Confirm with RIBA test for RNA specific for Hep C
3. HCV PCR qualitative- (reverse transcriptase) to find out if presentand quantitative to find out how much present
1.1 Slutty Drugged Waitress Test show:
– HAV IgG: positive
– HAV IgM: negative
– HBsAg: positive
– Anti-HBsAg: negative
– Anti-HBcAg IgM: positive
– HBeAg: positive
– Anti-HBeAg: negative
– Anti-HCV: negative
Start with A's and then go C and then B
HAV IgG- not active then skip B
See- Anti-HCV neg so no Hep C
See "M" for HBV meaning she has acute infection, then others are used to confirm... but keep CHRONIC IN MIND IF PERSON IS DIRTY WHORE
1.2 Six month follow up of slutty waitress with normal liver enzymes
– HBsAg: positive
– Anti-HBsAg: negative
– Total Anti-HBcAg: positive
– Anti-HBcAg IgM: negative
– HBeAg: negative
– Anti-HBeAg: postive
more like chronic peristent not active, but can still transmit infections
1.3 Two years later of dirty waitress:
– HAV: IgG positive
--HAV IgM: negative
– HBsAg: positive
-Anti HBsAg: negative
– Total Anti-HBcAg: positive
– Anti-HBcAg IgM: negative
– HBeAg: positive
– HBV DNA: positive
– Anti-HDV IgM: positive
– Anti-HCV: negative
now she has D most likely superinfection
