| prevalence of hepatitis viruses in patients with acute hepatitis and characterization of the detected genotype 4 hepatitis e virus sequences in mongolia. | hepatitis e is considered to be a worldwide public health problem. although the prevalence of hepatitis e virus (hev) antibodies in healthy individuals is noted to be 11%, no patients with acute hepatitis e have previously been identified in mongolia. three hundred two consecutive patients (183 males and 119 females; median age of 22.0 [interquartile range: 18.3-25.0] years) who were clinically diagnosed with sporadic acute hepatitis during 2012-2013 in ulaanbaatar, mongolia, were studied. by se ... | 2016 | 26147664 |
| infection with hepatitis a, b, c, and delta viruses among patients with acute hepatitis in mongolia. | one hundred ten consecutive patients (60 males and 50 females; age, mean +/- standard deviation [sd], 22.6 +/- 6.4 years; range 16-48 years) who were clinically diagnosed with sporadic acute hepatitis between december 2004 and january 2005 in ulaanbaatar, mongolia, were studied. igm antibodies to hepatitis a virus were detected in 18 patients (16.4%), igm antibodies to hepatitis b core (anti-hbc igm) in 38 patients (34.5%) including two patients with concurrent hepatitis delta virus (hdv) infect ... | 2006 | 16555292 |
| high prevalence of hepatitis delta virus infection detectable by enzyme immunoassay among apparently healthy individuals in mongolia. | a previous study revealed a high prevalence of hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and hepatitis delta virus (hdv) rna among 249 apparently healthy individuals (mean+/-standard deviation age, 48.4+/-13.9 years; 126 males and 123 females) in ulaanbaatar, mongolia. to investigate further the prevalence of hdv infection there, the same serum samples obtained from the cohort were tested for the presence of immunoglobulin g (igg) class antibody to hdv (anti-hdv) by a newly developed enzyme-linked imm ... | 2005 | 15902700 |
| high prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis a and e viruses and viremia of hepatitis b, c, and d viruses among apparently healthy populations in mongolia. | the prevalence of infection with hepatitis a virus (hav), hbv, hcv, hdv, and hev was evaluated in 249 apparently healthy individuals, including 122 inhabitants in ulaanbaatar, the capital city of mongolia, and 127 age- and sex-matched members of nomadic tribes who lived around the capital city. overall, hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) was detected in 24 subjects (10%), of whom 22 (92%) had detectable hbv dna. surprisingly, hdv rna was detectable in 20 (83%) of the 24 hbsag-positive subjects. ... | 2004 | 15013993 |
