Clinical impact of transfusion transmitted HBV
• 50% of recipients do not survive past 3 yrs.• Estimate of 5% chronic carrier rate in adults; may be lower with
low-dose inocula, or in setting of HBV vaccination• 15-25% of chronic carriers develop significant clinical disease
after decades• 0.25% of transfusion transmissions (1 in 40) will result in chronic
carrier state and 1 in 200 in long term disease• Severe disease impact in immuno-compromised transfusion
recipients may be greater than the natural history data suggest• HBV often persists in the liver in the absence of the chronic
carrier state; unknown significance• Potential for secondary transmission
