yes
2 of 47
Is hep B ** or ds DNA
Partially ds DNA
3 of 47
What does Hepatotropic
a disease that causes inflammation of the liver
4 of 47

What are 2 key markers of HBV
HBsAG a s surface antigen for the outer cout - if present there is a curent infection, and Anti-HB this is the main defence againsr the virus, produce recovery or vaccination, HBcAg hep b core antigen found in infected hepato, AntiHBc all infected pp
16 of 47
What does a +ve HbsAg AntiHBc and -ve AntiHBs mean
there is a current infection
17 of 47
What does a -ve HBsAg and a +ve AntiHBs and AntiHBc mean
past infection recovered
18 of 47
What does a -ve HBsAG anf 0ve ANtiHBc mean
individual has been vaccinated
19 of 47
What does a -ve HBsAg and -ve AntiHBs and +ve Anti HBc mean
there was a past infection that could reactivate if person is immunocomprimised
20 of 47
How is HBV spread
blood and bodily fluid inoculation
21 of 47
what is the latency period of hep B
6-24 weeks
22 of 47
In which age group is acute hep b often asymptomatic
newborns/children
23 of 47
What it the prodrome of acute hep b
It is non specific like anorexia nausea vomiting
24 of 47
How does acue hep B present clinically
Jaundice, RUQ abdominal pain, dark urine, deranged LFT - raised bilirubin, and alanine transferase
25 of 47
What is the outcome of acute hep b
90% recoverr 1% fulimant (progressses lethally) people you fail to eradicate disease = chronic
26 of 47
What is HBeAG
envelop antigen, produced during viral replication, not part of the viron, not required for replication, indicated active viral replication,
27 of 47
Which is more accurate in predicting infectious disease HBeAG or HBV DNA
HBV DNA
28 of 47
Why does HBV lead to liver damage
HBV gets into hepatocytes and then host immune system attacks and destroys hepatocyts
29 of 47
What are the 5 stages of chronic HBV
1. High replicative/low inflammatory phase, 2. immune clearance phase, 3. low-replicative phase 4. HBeAg negative chronic hep 5.HBsAG loss occult hep b
30 of 47
Who characteristically experiences high replicative phase
the immunosurpressed or those with a child hoood infection
31 of 47
is high replicative phase symptomatic
no
32 of 47
is the LFT deranged in high replicative phase
no
33 of 47
what markers are present in high replicative phase
HBsAg +, HBeAg +, High Viral Load
34 of 47
when is Immune clearance phase most commonn
adulthood or following immune reconsitution
35 of 47
Is Immune clearance phase symptomatic
yes
36 of 47
is lft normal in Immune clearance phase
no
37 of 47
What happens in Low (non)- replicative phase
successful control of virus, Sero-conversion from HBeAg positive to anti-HBe positive
38 of 47
What markers are there in Low (non)- replicative phase
HBsAg positive
39 of 47
Is Low (non)- replicative phase symptomatic
no and there is a normal lft
40 of 47
What is HBeAg negative chonic hep bb
A new mutated form that can by symptomatic, may have variable LFT, HBsAg +, HBeAg –  Moderate Viral Load
41 of 47
HBsAg loss/occult hepatitis B phase
A functionall cure/ resolved hep (there is a potential for reactivation)
42 of 47
What markers will there b
anti-HBc positive
43 of 47
How ca you prevent hep b
Vaaination (an inactivated recombinant HBsag)
44 of 47
What is the treatment of hep b
An immune modulator e.g ifn alpha, and a nucleoside/tide analogues e.f. Lamivudine  Adefovir  Telbivudine  Entecavir  Tenofovir
45 of 47
what stages of HBV can be treated with antivirals
Immune clearance phase, and HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B
