“…HDV co-infection or super infection means that the host liver cells are previously been infected by hepatitis B virus. HDV co-infection or super infection leads to the cirrhosis of the liver and finally hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver cancer [3,5,6,12]. The current study shows an extremely high prevalence of HDV infection in the province of Punjab Pakistan.…”

BackgroundHepatitis delta virus (HDV) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection is well known to induce a spectrum of acute and chronic liver diseases which further advance to cirrhosis, fulminant hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).AimThe aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis D virus super-infection among hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive individuals in the highly populated province of Pakistan which is not well known.MethodsSera samples were subjected to HBsAg and anti-HDV screening and finally anti-HDV and HBsAg positive coinfected samples were used for HDV active RNA confirmation using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR).ResultsOut of total 200 HBsAg positive samples by rapid device, 96 (48%) were also found reactive for HBsAg using enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). Out of these HBsAg ELISA positive samples, 80 (88.8%) were anti-HDV ELISA positive which were then subjected to PCR. The amplification results further confirmed 24 (30%) samples to be HDV RNA positive. HDV super-infection was more common in male patients than female patients (81% VS 19%).ConclusionThe current study shows a high prevalence rate of HDV-HBV co-infection in Pakistan that tends to increase over time.

“…HDV is now well known to induce a spectrum of both acute and chronic liver diseases [4]. Individuals having HBV-HDV co-infection may have more severe acute disease and higher risks of fulminant hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than those having HBV infection alone [5,6]. …”

While the debate on the association between Enterobius vermicularis (E. vermicularis) and acute appendicitis has not been settled, a few case reports of this very rare encounter are beginning to come to light. E. vermicularis is one of the most common parasitic infections around the world, and acute appendicitis, on the other hand, is also a commonly encountered condition in general surgery. However, the association between these two conditions remains controversial. Here we present a case report of a young woman with appendicitis associated with E. vermicularis.
