Prevalence of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: prevalent in the West, there has been an increasing incidence in Asian countries in the last two decades. 2,3 The treatment of IBD primarily involves immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory drugs. This not only increases the chance of prevalence of various chronic infective diseases like chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) but also may lead to reactivation of the latter disease. [4][5][6] This will have more impact on Asian countries due to the moderately high prevalence of HBV infection… Show more

“…The paper included 34 studies with a total of 17,022 IBD patients, and found that the prevalence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen in IBD patients was 3.3% and the prevalence of HCV antibody (anti-HCV) was 1.8%, which is not significantly different from the general population. [3] The use of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in IBD patients may affect the course of HCV. A study by Loras showed that corticosteroids may lead to a large replication of HCV and potential liver damage.…”
