Implementation of occult hepatitis screening in the Spanish cohort of HIV-infected pediatric patients.
2013
: Regular screening methods may miss the diagnosis of occult hepatitis B infection and seronegative hepatitis C virus infection in immunocompromised patients. A cross-sectional study within a Spanish cohort of HIV-infected children yielded 6 of 254 (2.4%) possible occult hepatitis B infection cases and 2 of 254 (0.8%) seronegative hepatitis C virus-infected patients. Implementation of occult hepatitis screening in the routine care of these children may be warranted.
