Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses an enduring global health dilemma, with current therapeutic strategies falling short of total viral eradication, even with the advent of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) and pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) (Deng et al., 2022). The enigmatic persistence of HBV is predominantly attributed to the tenacious presence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) within hepatocytes, which acts as a […]

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a widespread infection that not only affects women but also poses a significant threat to men. In recent years, groundbreaking research published in The Lancet Global Health has shed light on the prevalence of HPV infection in men, prompting a crucial discussion about the involvement of men in the efforts to eliminate HPV and prevent cervical […]

Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) refers to the presence of HBV DNA in the absence of detectable hepatitis B surface antigen[1].  This enigmatic condition poses a considerable challenge for clinicians, as the virus remains hidden, making its detection and subsequent management a complex task. This article will explore Occult Hepatitis B Infection, its key characteristics, clinical significance, and […]
