Overview

50% of adult patients and the majority of children with acute HBV do not present with symptoms. When present, symptoms may initially be non-specific.[1]Proper and thorough history taking is important in both acute and chronic HBV infections in order to determine modes of infection transmission as well as to assess risk factors for the progression of HBV-related liver disease.[2][3]

History

Part of the initial evaluation for HBV infection includes a thorough patient history focusing on potential modes and timing of infection. Aspects covered in the patient's history include:[2]

  • Exposure to blood and/or blood products
  • Injection drug use(IDU)
  • Sexual exposure
  • Occupational exposure
  • Family history of HBV
  • Recent history of invasive procedures performed in non-hospital health care settings, including hemodialysis centers and long-term care facilities[4]

In chronic HBV, history taking includes obtaining information regarding factors associated with the progression of HBV-related liver disease.[3] The following aspects should be covered:[3][2]

  • Risk factors for coinfection with HDV, HCV, and HIV(CITE)
  • Family history of liver disease and HCC
  • Medication history
  • Smoking status
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Drug abuse
  • Sexual activity
  • History of previous HBV treatment(to assess potential for treatment resistance)
  • Antiretroviral drug regimen if coinfected with HIV(to assess potential for treatment resistance)

History taking among immigrants from regions with a high prevalence of HBV should include questions regarding family history of acute and/or chronic liver disease, rituals in which shared and non-sterile instruments were used such as scarification and piercing, and traditional medical procedures.[2]


Symptoms

Approximately 50% of adults with acute HBV infections are asymptomatic. However, clinical symptoms occur more often in adults than in infants or children, who usually have an asymptomatic acute course.[5]

Symptoms can include:
