چکیده

background: it has been arguedthat unprecedented degree of human leukocyte antigen (hla) loci polymorphism within a population is requiredto avoid the devastating effects of infectious diseases. the present study was conducted to determine the associations between some of hla classi genes and the outcome of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection.   methods: using sequential sampling method, 64 individuals were selected and categorized into two groups according to their clinical and serological profiles. the patients in the case group were 27 patients with chronic hbv infection and the controls were 37 individuals considered as hbv natural convalescent who recovered from hbv infection. antibodies againsthbsag (anti-hbs) and hepatitis b core antigen (anti-hbc) were assessed to exclude primary hbv infection. individualswith viral clearance were positive for anti-hbs andanti-hbc without the presence of hbsag at two time points.  hla typing was performed by serological method. collected data were analyzed by spss software version 13.   results: the most frequent hla antigens among the studied subjects were b51 (40. 1%), b27 (14.1%), b8 (12.5%), and b7 (10.9%). a significant correlation was found between hbv persistence and hla-b27 (p<0.05). the association between other hlas (hla 7, 8, 57) with hbv clearance was not significant. the two studied groups were statistically different in sex but not in age.   conclusion: findings of the present study demonstrated an association between hla class i and outcome of hbv infection where hla b27 was linked to an increase in hbvpersistence. these findings support the hypothesis that hla class i-restricted cytotoxic t cells play an important role in hbv chronicity.

Association between Hepatitis B Virus Infection Outcome and HLA-A and DRB1 Genotyping in North Part of Iran

  Background and Objective: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may be influenced by host factors like Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA). We have investigated HLA-A and DRB1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis B infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from HBV infection. To complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain HLA ...

Problems of protection against virus B hepatitis.

Various methods have been employed to reduce hepatitis B infections among patients and staff at high risk. Routine screening tests of all blood donors for hepatitis B surface antigen has reduced post-transfusion hepatitis B. After a control and prevention programme was instituted hepatitis B cross-infection was eliminated from haemodialysis units in Britain. Prophylaxis with specific immunoglob...

The Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran

Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...

 ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients who lack detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is called occult hepatitis B infection. Such infections have been frequently identified in patients with chronic hepatitis Cliver disease, but their prevalence is not known. Methods: 207 patients with chronic hepatitis C who were HCV -RNA and antiHCV positive were stu...
