- W33874116 abstract "Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may lead to acute or chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The incidence rate of paediatric hepatitis B is 0.2/100,000 to 1.8/100,000 in Canada. Hepatitis B virus infection is acquired largely through mother-to-infant (vertical) or community-based (horizontal) transmission in early childhood, whereas older children are susceptible to HBV infection through exposure to contaminated blood during intravenous drug use or through sexual transmission. Immigrants from endemic areas and some Native Canadian populations are also at a higher risk for HBV infection. Infection with HBV may manifest in three forms: acute self-limited hepatitis, chronic hepatitis or massive hepatic necrosis causing acute liver failure. The identification of HBV infection and the characterization of the disease relies on serological and virological tests. The course of chronic hepatitis B may be classified into three phases: an immunotolerant phase, an active phase and an inactive phase. Current treatment options include interferon-alpha and lamivudine for individuals with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase levels and markers of persistent viral replication. Children with chronic hepatitis B require regular monitoring and age-appropriate lifestyle counselling. Paediatricians are well-positioned to promote vaccination and encourage testing of those who are at risk for hepatitis B. With effective universal vaccination against hepatitis B, this infection could be essentially eliminated in Canada." @default.
