Hepаtitis B Virus (HBV) 1. Bаckgrоund Definitiоn: A DNA virus (Hepаdnaviridae family) that infects hepatоcytes, leading to acute or chronic hepatitis. Transmission: Parenteral: Needle sticks, transfusions, IV drug use. Sexual: Unprotected intercourse, especially MSM. Perinatal: Mother-to-child during birth (most common global route). Virology: Partially double-stranded DNA virus; replicates via reverse transcription. Surface antigen (HBsAg), core antigen (HBcAg), and e antigen (HBeAg) are key serologic markers. Epidemiology: Worldwide prevalence ~250 million chronic carriers. High endemicity in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. In the U.S., declining due to universal vaccination. 2. History Acute infection: Incubation: 6 weeks to 6 months. Symptoms: Fatigue, malaise, anorexia, nausea, RUQ pain, jaundice, dark urine, clay-colored stool. May be subclinical in many adults. Chronic infection: Persistent infection >6 months. Often asymptomatic initially; may progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Risk factors: Unvaccinated individuals, multiple sexual partners, IV drug use, healthcare workers, infants of infected mothers. 3. Exam Findings Acute infection: Jaundice, hepatomegaly, RUQ tenderness. Chronic infection: Spider angiomas, palmar erythema, ascites, hepatosplenomegaly (signs of cirrhosis). Fulminant hepatitis (rare): Encephalopathy, coagulopathy, asterixis. 4. Making the Diagnosis A. Serologic Markers Marker Meaning HBsAg Active infection (acute or chronic) Anti-HBs Immunity (recovery or vaccination) Anti-HBc IgM Acute or recent infection Anti-HBc IgG Past or chronic infection HBeAg Active viral replication, high infectivity Anti-HBe Declining replication, lower infectivity HBV DNA Quantifies viral load; monitors treatment response B. Interpretation Examples Serology Pattern Interpretation HBsAg (+), Anti-HBc IgM (+), HBeAg (+) Acute infection HBsAg (+), Anti-HBc IgG (+), HBeAg (+ or -)** >6 mo** Chronic infection Anti-HBs (+) only Vaccinated Anti-HBs (+), Anti-HBc IgG (+) Recovered (immune after infection) C. Additional Testing LFTs: Elevated AST/ALT (ALT > AST). HBV DNA PCR: Quantifies viral load for treatment decisions. Ultrasound / AFP: Surveillance for HCC in chronic carriers. 5. Management A. Acute Hepatitis B Usually supportive (hydration, rest, avoid alcohol and hepatotoxic meds). Antivirals not routinely indicated unless severe or fulminant disease. >95% of immunocompetent adults recover spontaneously. B. Chronic Hepatitis B Goal: Suppress viral replication and prevent cirrhosis/HCC. Indications for antiviral therapy: Elevated ALT with HBV DNA >2,000 IU/mL. Evidence of liver damage or cirrhosis. Preferred agents: Tenofovir, entecavir (first-line). Monitor: ALT, HBV DNA, HBeAg, and AFP every 6–12 months. C. Prevention Vaccine: Recombinant HBsAg vaccine (3 doses at 0, 1, 6 months). Postexposure prophylaxis: Unvaccinated exposure: HBV vaccine + hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) within 24 hours. Newborn of infected mother: HBIG + vaccine at birth. Screening: Pregnant women, high-risk groups, and all blood donors. Question A 26-year-old man presents for evaluation after recovering from fatigue, nausea, and jaundice that developed six weeks ago. His symptoms have resolved, but laboratory testing is repeated to assess his hepatitis B status. The following serologic results are obtained: HBsAg: negative Anti-HBs: negative Anti-HBc IgM: positive Which of the following best explains this serologic pattern?
