week after the onset of jaundice- HAV
7. transmitted through blood inoculation, with IV drug use- HCV
8. acute coinfection after exposure to serum containing both HDV and HBV; superinfection of a
chronic carrier of HBV with a new inoculum of HDV- HDV
9. enterically transmitted, water borne infection; endemic in india- HEV
10. Transmitted vertically- HBV
15. HBeAg positive, high levels of HBV DNA (1billion IU/ml), normal serum aminotransferases,
low risk of liver damage- Immune tolerance
16. immune system attempts to clear virus resulting in liver damage, fluctuating ALT, variable levels
of HBV DNA- Immune active/ Immune clearance
17. immune system successfully controls virus, low HBV DNA, HB eAb positive, normal liver
function test= may completely eliminate HBsAg and develop HBsAb; resolution- Immune control
18. hepatitis B virus escapes immune control and begins to replicate again, despite the presence of
HBeAb, high HBV DNA, liver damage may again occur- Immune reactivation/ Immune escapes
