Delta hepatitis in Kiribati: a pacific focus.

Abstract:

:From the Pacific Republic of Kiribati, 90/130 (69%) of hepatitis B-infected individuals carry antibodies to hepatitis delta virus. The prevalence of delta infection varied between geographically isolated subgroups in the population and delta antibodies were found more frequently in subjects over the age of 10. It is unlikely that delta superinfection in this population is associated with an acute hepatic illness. The prevalence of delta infection is the highest recorded from the Pacific region and thus migrants from Kiribati may have provided the source of infection in other population in this region.

  • Effects of drug resistance on viral load in patients failing antiretroviral therapy.

However, the effect of long-term exposure to drug resistant variants may lead to emergence of compensatory mutations that may jeopardize this effect. In this study, w...
