Summary: Hepatitis is a significant cause of mortality worldwide, with around 1.34 million deaths annually. Africa is not immune to this issue, with an estimated 100 million individuals infected with Hepatitis B or C. The continent, already fragile, is further burdened by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could potentially worsen the threat from viral diseases like Hepatitis. Strengthening prevention policies is essential for Africa to build resilience against such threats.

Summary: Infection with the hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute hepatitis globally. A systematic analysis of hepatitis E histology revealed different histopathologic patterns and clusters based on immune status and pre-existing liver disease. The study suggests that histopathologic changes are associated with these factors, improving patient management and clinical diagnosis of hepatitis E.

Summary: A 72-year-old woman with isolated HBcAb positive developed HBV reactivation during R-CHOP therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Reactivation was confirmed based on detectable HBV DNA until 19 months post-therapy, which became undetectable after TAF treatment. Regular monitoring is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of HBV reactivation.

Summary: Humoral immunity plays a critical role in resolving viral infections and providing protection, with factors shaping memory B cell responses allowing tailored development of efficient preventative vaccines. Lessons can be learned from different viral infections, including hepatitis B, regarding the diverse influences on humoral immunity.

Summary: This study compared the vertical HB virus transmission rates and immunogenic responses between two HB vaccination strategies in Japan. Although no vertical transmission was observed in the delayed strategy, there were no significant differences in post-vaccination serum HBsAg positivity rates and immunogenic response rates between the two strategies.

Summary: This study investigated COVID-19 risk factors in Hispanic/Latinx individuals using individual-level, electronic health records in a Los Angeles health system. Risk factors identified in Hispanic/Latinx were similar to those in non-Hispanic/Latinx whites, suggesting the importance of studying COVID-19 risk factors for Hispanic/Latinx individuals to guide equitable government policies and identify at-risk populations.

Summary: Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) are conditions that occur or remain at least 28 days after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pre-existing conditions such as asthma, chronic constipation, reflux, rheumatoid arthritis, seasonal allergies, and depression/anxiety are associated with an increased risk for PASC. Respiratory, gastrointestinal, and autoimmune conditions also show significant associations with PASC.

Summary: The study found that viral infections occurred in one-third of CAP cases during the peak flu season in 2019, highlighting the importance of early identification for guiding treatment and management.Routine use of nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) to detect viral infections in CAP patients has been low, especially in emergency departments.
