Posttransfusion hepatitis after exclusion of commercial and hepatitis-B antigen-positive donors.
In a prospective study the exclusion of commercial blood donors and donors positive for hepatitis-B antigen (HBAg) resulted in a hepatitis frequency of only 3 .7 cases/1000 units transfused. Residual posttransfusion hepatitis was caused by at least two viruses. Four of 10 cases were short incubation, HBAg negative; six cases were long incubation, HBAg positive. One patient had both diseases in ...
متن کاملChronic liver disease and hepatitis-B antigen: a prospective study.
A long-term follow-up of 45 patients with chronic hepatitis and 41 with cirrhosis is reported. Hepatitis-B antigen (HBAg) was present in 19 (42%) of the chronic hepatitis patients and in 20 (49%) of those with cirrhosis. The clinical course and biochemical and histological findings in the HBAg-positive and the HBAg-negative cases were similar, suggesting that HBAg-positive chronic liver disease...
متن کاملEvaluation of a solid phase radioimmunoassay (Ausria-125) for the detection of hepatitis B antigen (Australia antigen) in two clinical materials.
A solid-phase radioimmunoassay (Ausria-125) was compared to an immunoelectro-osmophoresis method in detecting hepatitis-B antigen (HBAg). The radioimmunoassay detected HBAg in approximately 230 times higher dilutions than the immunoelectroosmophoresis method. In cases of acute hepatitis HBAg could be detected for about 70% longer after the onset of jaundice using radioimmunoassay compared with ...

متن کاملHepatitis B antigen (HBAg) and its antibody (HBAb) in hospital patients.
Sera from 5171 inpatients have been tested for HBAg and HBAb during the 18-month period ending in December 1972. The incidence of HBAg (0.116%) was similar to that in blood donors (0.119%) in the same area, being tested for the first time by the same technique. By contrast the incidence of HBAb in patients (0.271%) was significantly higher than in donors (0.103%). A possible mode of infection w...
