Update on Biology and Clinical Impact of Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection
CME
In the last years, the knowledge on occult HBV infection has greatly increased. Some important virological and immunonological aspects have been clarified. The molecular basis of occult HBV infection has been identified as the long-lasting persistence of HBV cccDNA in the form of a transcriptionally suppressed minichromosome. In addition, there is growing evidence supporting its clinical impact in different clinical scenarios. In fact, apart from the well-established risks of acute and often fatal reactivation in the course of immune-suppressive therapy and of HBV transmission in cases of liver transplantation and blood transfusion, occult HBV infection might be a factor that negatively influences the outcome of the disease if other causes of liver damage (HCV infection, ASH, NASH, hemochromatosis, etc.), co-exist. The meeting will be a unique occasion to discuss both the different aspects of this important and particular phase of the HBV infection and new strategies for a complete-or at least functional-HBV cure.
