Il progresso nella definizione
della malattia da HBV
ALT
(epatite post-trasfusionale a lunga
incubazione, evoluzione in cronicità)
HBsAg
(Antigene Australia)
Istologia

The “healthy carrier”: the histology era
de Franchis et al. Ann Intern Med 1993; 118:191-194
Baseline: 92 pts, HBsAg positive blood donors,
normal ALT
Follow-up: mean 130 mo., 68 pts; 21 with biopsy
HBV-DNA: spot-dot hybridization
Characteristics
at the baseline
No Caption Found
HBV-DNA :
10/60
End of follow-up
Limits of a healthy carrier definition based on liver
histology and low sensitivity DNA testing
–Dependent upon:
•Length of biopsy – 20mm optimal
•Number of biopsies performed
•Type of biopsy needle used
•Pathologist experience
–HBV-DNA testing:
•Spot-dot hybridizazion reveals pg of DNA
•Subjective lecture

Cofactors influencing the outcome
of inactive HBV carriers
• HCV coinfection
• HDV coinfection
• HIV coinfection
• Alcohol abuse,
steroids,
immunosuppression

Il portatore di HBV: inattivo o malato ?
Paziente HBsAg positivo con ALT normali:
HBV-DNA>10,000 cp/ml = area rischio
(2000 IU/ml)
Seguire per un anno ad intervalli di
3 mesi ALT, anti-HBc IgM, HBV-DNA
 Biopsia epatica nei casi dubbi
