Serological and Biochemical Study of Hepatitis B patients, a Report From the Southeast of Iran

Abstract: Aim: Clinical importance of HBeAg and HBeAb positivity was assessed in 309 patients with chronic HBV infection. Patients & methods: Clinical, biochemical and serological data were extracted from medical archives over a 10-year period (2004–2014). Results: HBeAg and HBeAb were positive in 46 (14.8%) and 221 (71.5%), respectively. Persistent elevation of AST and ALT enzymes were seen in 73 (21.2%) and 98 (30.1%) of the patients, respectively. HBeAb positivity rendered a significant protective effect against … Show more

“…The identification of bacteria in a microbiology laboratory mainly relies on traditional biochemical identification, molecular biology, and morphology methods. [5,6] At present, Gram staining, [7,8] biochemical and serological methods [9][10][11] are mainly used for the detection of drug-resistant strains. However, the identification of biochemical characteristics based on a single colony is time-consuming and vulnerable to external conditions, [12] which cannot meet the clinical requirements like timeliness of detecting.…”

“…Nevertheless, these patients may present with non-specific digestive symptoms and pain in upper quadrat of stomach. Unlike hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) infections, affecting of other body systems besides liver is not common in HAV infection (2). However, tissues such as lymph nodes, muscles, skin, as well as kidneys have scarcely been among target organs in HAV infection (3).…”
