Hepatitis and Liver Cancer

Abstract: Up to 5.3 million people-2 percent of the U.S. population-are living with chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C. These diseases are more common than HIV/ AIDS in the U.S. Yet, because of the asymptomatic nature of chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C, most people who have them are unaware until they have symptoms of liver cancer or liver disease many years later. Each year about 15,000 people die from liver cancer or liver disease related to hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C can be either ac… Show more

“…This is a crucial point, considering that most subjects are not aware they are HBV-infected and many physicians have a low sensitivity to the need of preventing HBV reactivation in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy [22]. In the current survey, only 16% (11/70) of subjects with serological evidence of previous exposure to HBV reported being aware of their status, a rate slightly higher than that estimated for the European Union inhabitants [23], but markedly lower than that of USA citizens [24]. HBsAg-positive subjects should receive either a treatment with Nucleos (t) ides analogue (NUCs) in case of chronic HBV hepatitis, or prophylaxis with NUCs in case of chronic HBV infection.…”

“…stigma -пятно, ярлык) -это процесс в обществе, в результате которого больному человеку присваивается негативная социальная роль. Ухудшения отношений с окружающими у пациентов с инфекционными заболеваниями (острыми или хроническими) связаны в большинстве случаев с риском инфицирования, асоциальным образом жизни больных и могут быть очень длительными по времени [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Стигматизация инфекционных заболеваний становится причиной дискриминации (лат.…”

“…Как продемонстрировало настоящее исследование, проблема негативного отношения к больным ХГВ и ХГС актуальна для российского общества и обусловлена дефицитом знаний по эпидемиологии гепатитов В и С. Недостаточный уровень знаний, стигматизация и дискриминация больных ХГВ и ХГС актуальны для многих стран мира [6,13,[15][16][17][18][19]. Согласно новой стратегии ВОЗ, любые усилия по профилактике вирусных гепатитов в стране и мире должны обязательно включать просветительскую работу, чтобы развеять мифы и ложные представления (вирусы гепатитов В и С могут передаваться через пищу, воду, укусы насекомых, больные ХГВ и ХГС -опасны для окружающих при бытовых контактах) и обосновать необходимость вакцинации от гепатита В, безопасного полового поведения, негативного отношения к наркотикам.…”
