| Core Tip |
The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and virological characteristics of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections in patients with hema-tological malignancies in Egypt. Serum samples were collected from 165 patients with different hematological malignancies and screened for occult HBV infection. In the present study, occult HBV infection was detected in 23 (42.6%) of 54 patients with hematological malignancies who were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative, but antibodies to HBV core (anti-HBc) positive. Based on in vitro study of clones inserted with 120T and 143L, it was found that the 120T mutation could impair HBsAg detection by changing its conformation. Patients with hematological malignancies should be screened and closely monitored for anti-HBc and HBV DNA. |
