Past, present, and future of long-term treatment for hepatitis B virus
World J Gastroenterol. 2023 Jul 7;29(25):3964-3983. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i25.3964.ABSTRACTThe estimated world prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is 316 million. HBV infection was identified in 1963 and nowadays is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) despite universal vaccination programs, and effective antiviral therapy. Long-term administration of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) has been the treatment of choice for chronic hepatitis B during the last decades. The NA has shown a good safety profile and high efficacy in controlling viral replication, improving histology, and decreasing th...

Progress Toward Hepatitis B Control and Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus - World Health Organization African Region, 2016-2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Jul 21;72(29):782-787. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7229a2.ABSTRACTChronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the leading causes of cirrhosis and liver cancer. In 2019, approximately 1.5 million persons newly acquired chronic HBV infection; among these, 990,000 (66%) were in the World Health Organization (WHO) African Region (AFR). Most chronic HBV infections are acquired through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) or during early childhood, and approximately two thirds of these infections occur in AFR. In 2016, the World Health Assembly endorsed the goal of elimination of mother-to-child t...

Durability of serologic responses to inactivated hepatitis A virus vaccination among people living with HIV following acute hepatitis A outbreak: a 5-year follow-up study
Emerg Microbes Infect. 2023 Jul 20:2239946. doi: 10.1080/22221751.2023.2239946. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSerologic responses to hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccination may wane among immunocompromised populations. To evaluate the long-term seroresponses to 2-dose HAV vaccination, we retrospectively included people living with HIV (PLWH) who had achieved seroconversion within 12 months after vaccination at a university hospital during an outbreak of acute hepatitis A between 2015 and 2017. PLWH included in the study received either Havrix or Vaqta. The seroresponses were evaluated 60 months after the second dose of vaccina...
