| 1 | Role of occult hepatitis B virus infection in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘The development of sensitive assays to detect small amounts of hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA has favored the identification of occult hepatitis B infection(OBI), a virological condition characterized by a low level of HBV replication with detectable levels of HBV DNA in liver tissue but an absence of detectable surface antigen of HBV(HBs Ag) in serum. The gold standard to diagnose OBI is the detection of HBV DNA in the hepatocytes by highly sensitive and specific techniques, a diagnostic procedure requiring liver tissue to be tested and the use of non-standardized non-commercially available techniques. Consequently, in everyday clinical practice, the detection of anti-hepatitis B core antibody(antiHBc) in serum of HBs Ag-negative subjects is used as a surrogate marker to identify patients with OBI. In patients with chronic hepatitis C(CHC), OBI has been identified in nearly one-third of these cases. Considerable data suggest that OBI favors the increase of liver damage and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in patients with CHC. The data from other studies, however, indicate no influence of OBI on the natural history of CHC, particularly regarding the risk of developing HCC. | Nicola Coppola Lorenzo Onorato Mariantonietta Pisaturo Margherita Macera Caterina Sagnelli Salvatore Martini Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,42: | 7 |
| 2 | Reactivation of hepatitis B virus infection in patients with hemolymphoproliferative diseases, and its prevention显示文摘Reactivation of hepatitis B virus(HBV)replication is characterized by increased HBV-DNA serum values of about 1 log or by HBV DNA turning positive if previously undetectable in serum,possibly associated with liver damage and seldom life-threatening.Due to HBV reactivation,hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)-negative/anti-HBc-positive subjects may revert to HBsAg-positive.In patients with hemo-lymphoproliferative disease,the frequency of HBV reactivation depends on the type of lymphoproliferative disorder,the individual's HBV serological status and the potency and duration of immunosuppression.In particular,it occurs in 10%-50%of the HBsAg-positive and in 2%-25%of the HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive,the highest incidences being registered in patients receiving rituximab-based therapy.HBV reactivation can be prevented by accurate screening of patients at risk and by a pharmacological prophylaxis with anti-HBV nucleo(t)sides starting 2-3 wk before the beginning of immunosuppressive treatment and covering the entire period of administration of immunosuppressive drugs and a long subsequent period,the duration of which depends substantially on the degree of immunodepression achieved.Patients with significant HBV replication before immunosuppressive therapy should receive anti-HBV nucleo(t)sides as a long-term(may be life-long)treatment.This review article is mainly directed to doctors engaged every day in the treatment of patients with onco-lymphoproliferative diseases,so that they can broaden their knowledge on HBV infection and on its reactivation induced by the drugs with high immunosuppressive potential that they use in the care of their patients. | Caterina Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo Federica Calò Salvatore Martini Evangelista Sagnelli Nicola Coppola | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,26: | 6 |
| 3 | Clinical impact of occult hepatitis B virus infection in immunosuppressed patients显示文摘Occult hepatitis B infection(OBI), is characterized by low level hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA in circulating blood and/or liver tissue. In clinical practice the presence of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen in hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)-/anti-HBs-negative subjects is considered indicative of OBI. OBI is mostly observed in the window period of acute HBV infection in blood donors and in recipients of blood and blood products, in hepatitis C virus chronic carriers, in patients under pharmacological immunosuppression, and in those with immunodepression due to HIV infection or cancer. Reactivation of OBI mostly occurs in anti-HIV-positive subjects, in patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy in onco-hematological settings, in patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in those treated with anti-CD20 or anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody, or anti-tumor necrosis factors antibody for rheumatological diseases, or chemotherapy for solid tumors. Under these conditions the mortality rate for hepatic failure or progression of the underlying disease due to discontinuation of specific treatment can reach 20%. For patients with OBI, prophylaxis with nucleot(s)ide analogues should be based on the HBV serological markers, the underlying diseases and the type of immunosuppressive treatment. Lamivudine prophylaxis is indicated in hemopoietic stem cell transplantation and in onco-hematological diseases when high dose corticosteroids and rituximab are used; monitoring may be indicated when rituximab-sparing schedules are used, but early treatment should be applied as soon as HBsAg becomes detectable. This review article presents an up-to-date evaluation of the current knowledge on OBI. | Evangelista Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo Salvatore Martini Pietro Filippini Caterina Sagnelli Nicola Coppola | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,6: | 4 |
| 4 | Hepatic flares in chronic hepatitis C: Spontaneous exacerbation vs hepatotropic viruses superinfection显示文摘The hepatitis C virus(HCV)causes an acute infection that is frequently asymptomatic,but a spontaneous eradication of HCV infection occurs only in one-third of patients.The remaining two-thirds develop a chronic infection that,in most cases,shows an indolent course and a slow progression to the more advanced stagesof the illness.Nearly a quarter of cases with chronic hepatitis C(CHC)develop liver cirrhosis with or without hepatocellular carcinoma.The indolent course of the illness may be troubled by the occurrence of a hepatic flare,i.e.,a spontaneous acute exacerbation of CHC due to changes in the immune response,immunosuppression and subsequent restoration,and is characterized by an increase in serum aminotransferase values,a frequent deterioration in liver fibrosis and necroinflammation but also a high frequency of sustained viral response to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin treatment.A substantial increase in serum aminotransferase values during the clinical course of CHC may also be a consequence of a superinfection by other hepatotropic viruses,namely hepatitis B virus(HBV),HBV plus hepatitis D virus,hepatitis E virus,cytomegalovirus,particularly in geographical areas with high endemicity levels.The etiology of a hepatic flare in patients with CHC should always be defined to optimize follow-up procedures and clinical and therapeutic decisions. | Evangelista Sagnelli Caterina Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo Nicola Coppola | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,22: | 4 |
| 5 | Hepatitis B virus infection in immigrant populations显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) is the most common cause of hepatitis worldwide, with nearly 350 million people chronically infected and 600000 deaths per year due to acute liver failure occurring during acute hepatitis or, more frequently, in HBV-related liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Ongoing immigration from countries with a high HBV endemicity to those with a low HBV endemicity warrants particular attention to prevent the spread of HBV infection to the native population. This review article analyzes the epidemiology and virological and clinical characteristics of HBV infection in immigrant populations and in their host countries, and suggests prophylactic measures to prevent the spread of this infection. Among the immigrants from different geographical areas, those from South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa show the highest prevalences of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) carriers, in accordance with the high endemicity of the countries of origin. The molecular characteristics of HBV infection in immigrants reflect those of the geographical areas of origin: HBV genotype A and D predominate in immigrants from Eastern Europe, B and C in those from Asia and genotype E in those from Africa. The literature data on the clinical course and treatment of HBs Agpositive immigrants are scanty. The management of HBV infection in immigrant populations is difficult and requires expert personnel and dedicated structures for their assistance. The social services, voluntary operators and cultural mediators are essential to achieve optimized psychological and clinical intervention. | Nicola Coppola Loredana Alessio Mariantonietta Pisaturo Margherita Macera Caterina Sagnelli Rosa Zampino Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,30: | 4 |

| 11 | Epidemiology of acute and chronic hepatitis B and delta over the last 5 decades in Italy显示文摘The spread of hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection has gradually decreased in Italy in the last 5 decades as shown by the steady reduction in the incidence rates of acute hepatitis B,from 10/100000 inhabitants in1984 to 0.85/100000 in 2012,and by the reduced prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)-positive cases among chronic hepatitis patients with different etiologies,from 60%in 1975 to about 10%in 2001.The prevalence of HBsAg chronic carriers in the general population also decreased from nearly 3%in the 1980s to 1%in 2010.Linked to HBV by its characteristics of defective virus,the hepatitis delta virus(HDV)has shown a similar epidemiological impact on the Italian population over time.The incidence of acute HDV infection decreased from 3.2/100000 inhabitants in 1987 to 0.8/100000 in 2010 and the prevalence of HDV infection in HBsAg chronic carriers decreased from24%in 1990 to 8.5%in 2006.Before the beneficial effects of HBV mass vaccination introduced in 1991,the decreased endemicity of HBV and HDV infection in Italy paralleled the improvement in screening blood donations,the higher standard of living and impressive reduction in the birth rate associated with a marked reduction in the family size.A further contribution to the decline in HBV and HDV infections most probably came from the media campaigns to prevent the spread of human immunodeficiency virus infection by focusing the attention of the general population on the same routes of transmission of viral infections such as unsafe sexual intercourse and parenteral exposures of different kinds. | Evangelista Sagnelli Caterina Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo Margherita Macera Nicola Coppola | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,24: | 3 |
| 12 | Hepatitis B virus/hepatitis D virus epidemiology: Changes over time and possible future influence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic显示文摘Hepatitis D virus(HDV)is a defective liver-tropic virus that needs the helper function of hepatitis B virus(HBV)to infect humans and replicate.HDV is transmitted sexually or by a parenteral route,in co-infection with HBV or by super-infection in HBV chronic carriers.HDV infection causes acute hepatitis that may progress to a fulminant form(7%-14%by super-infection and 2%-3%by HBV/HDV co-infection)or to chronic hepatitis(90%by HDV super-infection and 2%-5%by HBV/HDV co-infection),frequently and rapidly progressing to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Peg-interferon alfa the only recommended therapy,clears HDV in only 10%-20%of cases and,consequently,new treatment strategies are being explored.HDV endemicity progressively decreased over the 50 years from the identification of the virus,due to improved population lifestyles and economic levels,to the use of HBV nuclei(t)side analogues to suppress HBV replication and to the application of universal HBV vaccination programs.Further changes are expected during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 pandemic,unfortunately towards increased endemicity due to the focus of healthcare towards coronavirus disease 2019 and the consequently lower possibility of screening and access to treatments,lower care for patients with severe liver diseases and a reduced impulse to the HBV vaccination policy. | Caterina Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo Caterina Curatolo Alessio Vinicio Codella Nicola Coppola Evangelista Sagnelli | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,42: | 3 |
| 13 | Treatment of chronic hepatitis C in patients with HIV/HCV coinfection显示文摘Hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection is one of the mostfrequent causes of comorbidity and mortality in the human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) population, and liver-related mortality is now the second highest cause of death in HIV-positive patients, so HCV infection should be countered with adequate antiviral therapy. In 2011 began the era of directly acting antivirals(DAAs) and the HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors telaprevir and boceprevir were approved to treat HCV-genotype-1 infection, each one in combination with pegylated interferon alfa(Peg-IFN) + ribavirin(RBV). The addition of the first generation DAAs, strongly improved the efficacy of antiviral therapy in patients with HCVgenotype 1, both for the HCV-monoinfected and HIV/HCV coinfected, and the poor response to Peg-IFN + RBV in HCV/HIV coinfection was enhanced. These treatments showed higher rates of sustained virological response than Peg-IFN + RBV but reduced tolerability and adherence due to the high pill burden and the several pharmacokinetic interactions between HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors and antiretroviral drugs. Then in 2013 a new wave of DAAs arrived, characterized by high efficacy, good tolerability, a low pill burden and shortened treatment duration. The second and third generation DAAs also comprised IFN-free regimens, which in small recent trials on HIV-positive patients have shown comforting preliminary results in terms of efficacy, tolerability and adherence. | Nicola Coppola Salvatore Martini Mariantonietta Pisaturo Caterina Sagnelli Pietro Filippini Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Virology2015,4,1: | 3 |
| 14 | Epidemiology and management of hepatitis C virus infections in immigrant populations显示文摘Background:At present,there is a continuous flow of immigrants from the south of the world to north-western countries.Often immigrants originate from areas of high-prevalence of viral hepatitis and pose a challenge to the healthcare systems of the host nations.Aims of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and virological and clinical characteristics of hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection in immigrants and the strategies to identify and take care of the immigrants infected with HCV.Main body:We conducted an electronic literature search in several biomedical databases,including PubMed,Google Scholar,Scopus,Web of Science,using different combinations of key words:'HCV infection;chronic hepatitis C,immigrants;low-income countries'.We included studies written in English indicating the epidemiological data of HCV infection in the immigrant population,studies that assessed the clinical presentation,clinical management and treatment with directly acting antiviral agent in immigrants,HCV infection is unevenly distributed in different countries,with worldwide prevalence in the general population ranging from 0.5 to 6.5%.In Western countries and Australia this rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.5%,and reaches 2.3%in countries of south-east Asia and eastern Mediterranean regions,3.2%in China,0.9%in India,2.2%in Indonesia and 6.5%in Pakistan;in sub-Saharan Africa the prevalence of HCV infection varies from 4 to 9%.Immigrants and refugees from intermediate/high HCV endemic countries to less-or non-endemic areas are more likely to have an increased risk of HCV infection due to HCV exposure in their countries of origin.Because of the high HCV endemicity in immigrant populations and of the high efficacy of directly acting antiviral agent therapy,a campaign could be undertaken to eradicate the infection in this setting.Conclusions:The healthcare authorities should support screening programs for immigrants,performed with the help of cultural mediators and including educational aspects to break down the barriers limiting access to treatments,which obtain the HCV clearance in 95%of cases and frequently prevent the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. | Nicola Coppola Loredana Alessio Lorenzo Onorato Caterina Sagnelli Margherita Macera Evangelista Sagnelli Mariantonietta Pisaturo | 2019 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2019,8,2: | 3 |
| 15 | Hepatitis B virus infection in undocumented immigrants and refugees in Southern Italy:demographic,virological,and clinical features显示文摘Background:The data on hepatitis b virus(HBV)infection in immigrants population are scanty.The porpoise of this study was to define the demographic,virological,and clinical characteristics of subjects infected with HBV chronic infection in a cohort of immigrants living in Naples,Italy.Methods:A screening for HBV infection was offered to 1,331 immigrants,of whom 1,212(91%)(831 undocumented immigrants and 381 refugees)accepted and were screened for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)and anti-hepatitis B core antibody(HBc).Those found to be HBsAg positive were further investigated at third-level infectious disease units.Results:Of the 1,212 immigrants screened,116(9.6%)were HBsAg positive,490(40.4%)were HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive,and 606(50%)were seronegative for both.Moreover,21(1.7%)were anti-human immunodeficiency virus positive and 45(3.7%)were anti-hepatitis C virus positive.The logistic regression analysis showed that male sex(OR:1.79;95%CI:1.28-2.51),Sub-Saharan African origin(OR:6.18;95%CI:3.37-11.36),low level of schooling(OR:0.96;95%CI:0.94-0.99),and minor parenteral risks for acquiring HBV infection(acupuncture,tattoo,piercing,or tribal practices,OR:1.54;95%CI:1.1-2.16)were independently associated with ongoing or past HBV infection.Of the 116 HBsAg-positive immigrants,90(77.6%)completed their diagnostic itinerary at a third-level infectious disease unit:29(32.2%)were asymptomatic non-viremic HBsAg carriers,43(47.8%)were asymptomatic viremic carriers,14(15.6%)had chronic hepatitis,and four(4.4%)had liver cirrhosis,with superimposed hepatocellular carcinoma in two.Conclusions:The data illustrate the demographic,clinical and virological characteristics of HBV infection in immigrants in Italy and indicate the need for Italian healthcare authorities to enhance their support for providing screening,HBV vaccination,treatment,and educational programs for this populations. | Nicola Coppola Loredana Alessio Luciano Gualdieri Mariantonietta Pisaturo Caterina Sagnelli Carmine Minichini Giovanni Di Caprio Mario Starace Lorenzo Onorato Giuseppe Signoriello Margherita Macera Italo Francesco Angelillo Giuseppe Pasquale Evangelista Sagnelli | 2017 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2017,6,1: | 3 |
| 16 | Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus coinfection: Diagnostic methods and clinical impact显示文摘Several non-invasive surrogate methods have recently challenged the main role of liver biopsy in assessing liver fibrosis in hepatitis C virus(HCV)-monoinfected and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)/HCV-coinfected patients, applied to avoid the well-known side effects of liver puncture. Serological tests involve the determination of biochemical markers of synthesis or degradation of fibrosis, tests not readily available in clinical practice, or combinations of routine tests used in chronic hepatitis and HIV/HCV coinfection. Several radiologic techniques have also been proposed, some of which commonly used in clinical practice. The studies performed to compare the prognostic value of noninvasive surrogate methods with that of the degree of liver fibrosis assessed on liver tissue have not as yet provided conclusive results. Each surrogate technique has shown some limitations, including the risk of over- or under-estimating the extent of liver fibrosis. The current knowledge on liver fibrosis in HIV/HCVcoinfected patients will be summarized in this review article, which is addressed in particular to physicians involved in this setting in their clinical practice. | Caterina Sagnelli Salvatore Martini Mariantonietta Pisaturo Giuseppe Pasquale Margherita Macera Rosa Zampino Nicola Coppola Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,24: | 2 |
| 17 | Hepatitis c virus markers in infection by hepatitis c virus: In the era of directly acting antivirals显示文摘About 130-170 million people are infected with the hepatitis C virus(HCV) worldwide and more than 350000 people die each year of HCV-related liver diseases. The combination of pegylated interferon(Peg-IFN) and ribavirin(RBV) was recommended as the treatment of choice for chronic hepatitis C for nearly a decade. In 2011 the directly acting antivirals(DAA) HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitors,telaprevir and boceprevir,were approved to treat HCV-genotype-1 infection,each in triple combination with Peg-IFN and RBV. These treatments allowed higher rates of SVR than the double Peg-IFN + RBV,but the low tolerability and high pill burden of these triple regimes were responsible for reduced adherence and early treatment discontinuation. The second and third wave DAAs introduced in 2013-2014 enhanced the efficacy and tolerability of anti-HCV treatment. Consequently,the traditional indicators for disease management and predictors of treatment response should be revised in light of these new therapeutic options. This review article will focus on the use of the markers of HCV infection and replication,of laboratory and instrumental data to define the stage of the disease and of predictors,if any,of response to therapy in the DAA era. The article is addressed particularly to physicians who have patients with hepatitis C in care in their everyday clinical practice. | Nicola Coppola Mariantonietta Pisaturo Rosa Zampino Margherita Macera Caterina Sagnelli Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,38: | 2 |
