HAV pathogenesisContamination of food, water or hands w/ HAV1. Fecal-oral2. Common source

Brief viremia

Replication in GI tract

Transported to liver (major replication site)

Shed from liver via bile to intestines

Exits body in feces

Shedding begins 2 weeks before symptoms and continues after resolution (wks to mths)

Incubation: 28 dd(15-50)

Can survive outside the body x months

Common HAV vaccination questions

§ Can a pt get doses from different manufacturers? Yes§ What if the second dose is delayed? Give ASAP; do not repeat dose #1. 1st

dose protects up to 10 yrs and can protect for travel§ Can it be given to immunocompromised patients? Yes§ Should I send HAV IgG before immunization? Not risky to revaccinate

immune pts but costly. Check in these groups:- Born/lived in high or intermediate endemicity regions- Those in groups w/ ↑ prevalence by ethnicity or behavior

- Adults > 40

§ Should I send serologic tests after immunization? Nohttps://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hav/havfaq.htm#generalhttps://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5507a1.htm

§ Blood and bodily fluids (not breastmilk)- Survives outside the body x 7 days

§ Incubation: 1-4 mths§ Most common worldwide:

- Perinatal- Horizontal transmission in childhood

§ In the US:- Sex w/ infected partner- IDU

HBV natural history HBV case

§ New couple seeking care in your office

Common HBV vaccination questions

§ Can you give doses from different manufacturers? Yes§ If you get off schedule, what do you do? Proceed with next dose, no

need to restart§ Are extra doses or giving to someone with HBV harmful? No§ Can it be given to immunocompromised patients? Yes§ How long does immunity last? > 20 years§ Should I screen for immunity before immunization? Yes, screen all

patients in high-risk groups; no need for infants/kids§ Should I send serologic tests after immunization? Only if it will change

management:

https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/hbvfaq.htm

• HCW• ESRD, HIV, immunocompromised

• Sexual partners• Infants of HBsAg+ moms

Case, con’t: 1 month after she completes her HBV vaccine series, your pt’s HBsAb is negative. What do you do next?

A. Recheck HBsAgB. Give 1 booster dose of the vaccineC. Give the whole series againD. Counsel her not to receive ritux

Management of vaccine nonresponse

§ If received the vaccine remotely:- Up to 60% lose detectable Ab over time (though still protected)- Challenge with 1 doseàamnestic response

§ If recent or no response above, give 2nd three-dose series- 15-25% will respond after dose #1, 30-50% after all three

§ Retest 1-2 mths later

§ If still no response:- Check HBsAg- Consider nonresponder (<5%)àPEP if exposed

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/hepb.html#diagnosis

HBV take-home

§ HBV is common worldwide; many patients should be screened

§ Vaccinate at-risk populations§ Select patients benefit from treatment

Things to know before starting

1) Degree of liver fibrosis2) Genotype3) History of prior treatment: Failed DAAs vs older agents4) Concomitant issues

-Comorbid conditions -Medications

Bryn Boslett, MD

What you need to know about genotypes

M essina JP e t a l. H epato logy. 2015; 61(1): 77–87.

• 7 genotypes• Many subtypes• Affects prognosis & Rx• GT1: 70% of US HCV

• 55% 1a• GT2: 15-20%• GT3: 10%

• Fibrosis progression• Remainder: Uncommon

Staging

Blood tests

• Indirect: Measure hepatic function but not extracellular matrix metabolism

• Direct: Reflex extracellular matrix turnover

Imaging

• Transient elastography (Fibroscan)

• Cross-sectional imaging not needed for staging

Biopsy

• Gold standard, rarely needed anymore

• Discordant results• Concern for

concurrent diagnosies

Case, con’t. Before initiating HCV therapy for the patient, what other information is needed?

A. Current antiretroviral therapyB. Psychiatric evaluationC. Evaluation for varicesD. At least three months of negative urine tox screens

Important Comorbidities

§ Renal disease- Avoid SOF for CrCL < 30- ELB/GRZ (Zepatier) or GLE/PIB (Mavyret) are ok for CrCl < 30 &

ESRD § GERD/Gastritis

- PPI not recommended with LDV or VEL (in Harvoni, Epclusa)§ Anemia

- If ribavirin-containing regimen is indicated§ HBV

- Risk for re-activation; sAg+ should be on HBV-active therapy

Bryn Boslett, MD

Most common drug interactions

§ Elbasvir/Grazoprevir (Zepatier) & Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir(Mavyret) - Many interactions with HIV anti-retrovirals- Some contraindicated, esp ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors

§ Ledipasvir and Velpatasvir (part of Harvoni and Epclusa) - ↓ drug levels w/ acid blocking meds (antacids, H2 blockers, PPIs)

§ Why not to treat:- May not have complications: Inactive carriers

- Not always effective- Can develop resistance- Side effects

§ Monitoring: q6 month ALT (q3 mth if recently stopped)

What to do after making dx of HCV

§ Evaluate comorbidities that accelerate disease (HAV, HIV, HBV, EtOH, obesity)

§ Reduce transmission- Drug use—no sharing paraphernalia

- Sexual counseling: Low but present risk

- Household precautions: Do not share razors or toothbrushes
