Abstract

There is no HBsAg in the presence of HBV replication in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. This phenomenon was called occult hepatitis B. Russian researches referred as “hidden HBV infection”. We conducted a clinical analysis of the medical history of patient I. with chronic HBV infection in the cirrhotic stage. The patient had suffered from liver disease for 10 years, which occurred latently and only last year manifested pains in the right upper quadrant abdominal pain, jaundice, skin itching, dyspeptic syndrome in the form of nausea, vomiting. The diagnosis of occult hepatitis B was diagnosed in 2020. Antibodies were found to nuclear (anti-HBc > 10.0) and surface (anti-HBs 331 mMe/ml) antigens of HBV infection, with negative results on HBsAg and the absence of DNA-HBV in PCR during the examination. Morphological examination of biopsy lifetime liver material confirmed hepatitis B virus in liver tissue.
