HEPATITIS B VIRUS
INFECTION
SANDE, Nyachuma Miyaga
NYANGE, Sylvia William
Bugando School of Assistant Medical Officer.
OBJECTIVES
 Introduction
 Mode of transmission
 Viral structure
 Acute hepatitis B infection
 Chronic hepatitis B infection
 Clinical features
 Investigation
 Treatment
 Prevention
INTRODUCTION
 Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver
 The condition can be self limiting or can
progress to scarring(fibrosis), liver cancer or
cirrhosis.
INTRODUCTION…..
 Hepatitis viruses are the common cause of
hepatitis
 Other causes are alcohol, drugs and
autoimmune diseases
 There are five main hepatitis viruses, type A,
B, C, D, and E
MODE OF TRANSMISSION
 Transmitted through intravenous routes
Infected blood product
Contaminated needle of intravenous drug
abuser
Tattooists
 Heterosexuals with multiple partners or
contact with infected persons
 Sexual intercourse in male homosexual
 Vertical transmission mother to child during
delivery
VIRAL STRUCTURE
 The virus is Dane particles consists:
Outer surface coat – the hepatitis surface
antigen(HBsAg)
Inner core - consists double strand DNA
polymerase/reverse transcriptase
Core antigen(HBcAg) and e
antigen(HBeAg).
hepatitis e antigen is produce in excess
during active viral replication and its
detection in the serum show a higher
ACUTE HEPATITIS B INFECTION
 Acute HBV infection may be asymptomatic or
symptomatic
 Seldom associate with rashes, or polyathritis
affecting the small joints
 If HBsAg is present a full profile is performed
ACUTE HEPATITIS B INFECTION….
 The Viral marker of HBV:
HBsAg- is originate in acute Hepatitis and
persists in chronic carriers
HBsAg with HBeAg – is presence in acute
hepatitis, its existence in chronic HBV
infection is associated with increased
infectivity and progress to chronic liver
diseases
ACUTE HEPATITIS B INFECTION…..
HBsAg with anti-HBe – occurs in
improvement on acute infection, in chronic
infection specify decreased infectivity
Anti- HBs – come out late and signify
immunity
HBV DNA – imply constant viral replication
ACUTE HEPATITIS B INFECTION…..
 Most patients recover completely from acute
HBV, this marked by the disappearance of
HBsAg, development of antibody to surface
antigen(anti-HBs)and immunity to
subsequent infection
 Minority of patient do not clear HBsAg from
serum and become chronic carriers.
ACUTE HEPATITIS B INFECTION….
 Risk of developing chronic HBV infection is
inversely related to age at the time of
infection
 90% of infants infected at birth will become
chronically infected with HBV, but only about
5% of adult
CHRONIC HEPATITIS B INFECTION
 About 3-5% of patients with acute HBV
progress to chronic hepatitis
 The condition may be asymptomatic, or
presence with established liver diseases and
the sign of chronic liver disease in physical
examination
CHRONIC HEPATITIS B INFECTION…..
 Serum liver biochemistry transferase is
usually abnormal, liver biopsy and
histological examination will show the
severity of diseases varying from mild
inflammatory changes to established
cirrhosis
CLINICAL FEATURES
 Jaundice
 Fever
 Loss of body hair
 Spider naevi
 Gyenacomastia
 Finger clubbing
 Liver(small/large)
 Dupuytren’s
contracture
 Scratch mark
 Testicular atrophy
 Ascites
 Edema
 Hepatic flap
 Splenomegally
INVESTIGATION
 Hepatitis B panel
 HBV DNA test
 Serum bilirubin
 PT, PTT, INR
 AST, ALT
 HIV test
 CBC
 Gamma-glutamyl
transpeptidase
(GGT)
 Alkaline
phosphatase (ALP)
 Alphafetal protein
TREATMENT
 The primary treatment goals for patients
with hepatitis B (HBV) infection are:
 To prevent progression of the disease,
particularly to cirrhosis, liver failure, and
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
TREATMENT…..
 Risk factors for progression of chronic HBV
include the following :
Persistently elevated levels of HBV DNA
and, in some patients, alanine
aminotransferase (ALT)
Male sex
Older age
TREATMENT…..
Family history of HCC
Elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
Coinfection with hepatitis D (delta) virus
(HDV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
TREATMENT….
 For acute HBV give:
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or
Entecavir (ETV).
 In patients with HBV who are coinfected with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), it may
be possible to simplify treatment regimens
with agents that have dual effectiveness
against both viruses e.g Tenoforvir +
Lamivudine + Efarvirenz
PREVENTION
 Screening prenatal pregnancy women to
prevent vertical transmission
 Hepatitis B vaccine
 The three major risk groups (heterosexuals
with multiple partners or contact with infected
persons, injection-drug users, and men who
have sex with men)should be vaccinated
against HBV.
