Abstract
|
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) screening in blood banks reduced the risk of HBV transmission through transfusion. However, the detection of occult HBV infection among blood donors is imperative for improving blood safety. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of occult hepatitis B virus infection among blood donors in Medellin, North West Colombia and to characterize the viral genotypes and mutations. METHODS: Serum samples from blood donors with the serological profile HBsAg-/Anti-HBc+ were evaluated by nested or hemi-nested PCR for HBV genome ORF C, ORF S and ORF X. A pairwise analysis was carried out with deduced amino acids sequence of overlapping S/P region. RESULTS: A total of 302 serum samples HBsAg-/Anti-HBc+ from donors recruited in a blood bank in Medellin were evaluated by PCR for the HBV genome. Six samples (1.98%) were identified as occult HBV infection. The cases were confirmed by sequencing and viral load analysis. All HBV strains were genotype F, subgenotype F3. The amino acid substitutions sY100H, sV184A, and sK141N were detected in ORF S and rtL108P, rtR110G, rtL180M, rtR192C, rtT150S, and rtL187V in ORF P. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report and characterization of OBI cases in blood donors in Colombia. Six from 302 donors HBsAg-/Anti-HBc+ were identified. The mutations rtL108P, rtR110G, rtR192C, rtT150S and rtI187V were characterized for the first time in these samples. Further studies are necessary to explore if these mutations could potentially impair HBsAg production.
