Hepatitis TTV

📍A relatively new and poorly studied form of the disease, the causative agent of which is believed to be TTV.

📍It is believed that the main organ of TT virus replication is the liver, however, there is evidence of virus replication in hematopoietic cells, which may be accompanied by the development of blood diseases, especially aplastic. Today, the connection between TTV infection and pathological changes in the liver has not been conclusively proven. Most likely, it is a companion of another unknown hepatotropic virus.

🔬The examination is carried out exclusively by PCR.

📍 The virus can be detected in blood, saliva, cervical and vaginal mucus, seminal fluid, and feces.

💡The mechanism of infection transmission can be both perinatal and fecal-oral.
