In this editorial we comment on the article published in the recent issue of the W. We focus specifically on the problem of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, that is a result of previous hepatitis B (PHB) and a source for reactivation of HBV. The prevalence of PHB is underestimated due to the lack of population testing programs. However, this condition not only complicate anticancer treatment, but may be responsible for the development of other diseases, like cancer or autoimmune disorders. Here we unveil possible mechanisms responsible for realization of these processes and suggest practical approaches for diagnosis and treatment.
在这篇社论中，我们对近期《W》期刊上发表的文章进行评论。我们特别关注隐匿性乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染问题，它是既往乙型肝炎（PHB）的结果，也是HBV再激活的一个来源。由于缺乏人群检测项目，PHB的患病率被低估了。然而，这种情况不仅使抗癌治疗复杂化，还可能导致其他疾病的发生，如癌症或自身免疫性疾病。在此，我们揭示了导致这些过程发生的可能机制，并提出了诊断和治疗的实用方法。
