    In 1076 sera of healthy volunteer blood donors from Vienna and surroundings HBSAg was positive in 1,7%, HBSAb in 9,5%, HBCAb in 5,7% by radioimmunoassays. HA-Ab was more frequently positive in the rural than in the urban population, its incidence was higher than it was observed by others in Switzerland and in the USA, but lower than in Belgium, Israel, Yugoslavia and Taiwan. 4% of the blood units were positive for HBCAb but negative for HBSAg. The possibility to decrease the incidence of posttransfusion hepatitis by screening for HBCAb is discussed.

    Hepatitis

    Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...

    Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction

    Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion of food...
