Материалы и методы. Материалом исследования служили образцы плазмы крови пациентов из гемодиализных центров Санкт-Петербурга, Россия (173 образца) и Белграда, Сербия (108 образцов), которые тестировали на наличие серологических и молекулярно-генетических маркеров вируса гепатита В с последующим полногеномным секвенированием и определением значимых мутаций. Результаты и обсуждение. Антитела к гепатиту В выявили у 7,5 и 11,1 % пациентов из Санкт-Петербурга и Белграда соответственно, а HBsAg – в 1,1 % случаев в группе из России и в 0,9 % – из Сербии. ДНК ВГВ как у пациентов из Санкт-Петербурга, так и из Белграда обнаружили в 2,8 % исследуемых проб. Филогенетический анализ девяти вирусных изолятов показал, что преобладал вирус генотипа D (88,9 %) по сравнению с генотипом А (11,1 %). Среди образцов, полученных от пациентов из Санкт-Петербурга, четыре относились к субгенотипу D2, а один – генотипу D3. Четыре образца от больных из Белграда относились к субгенотипам D1, D2, D3, A2. При анализе нуклеотидных последовательностей ВГВ во всех случаях выявлены мутации в MHR-регионе и только в HBsAg-негативных изолятах – в области 124–147 аминокислот, в том числе мутации P120T, R122K, A128V, Q129R, M133I, G145R, влияющие на распознавание HBsAg анти-HBs-антителами и связанные с устойчивостью вируса к вакцине. Результаты исследования указывают на сохранение проблемы передачи возбудителей гемоконтактных вирусных гепатитов в отделениях гемодиализа Российской Федерации и Республики Сербия. Распространенность скрытой формы хронического гепатита В и мутаций вакцинного бегства во всех выявленных случаях свидетельствует о необходимости обратить внимание на встречаемость мутантных вариантов возбудителя у пациентов гемодиализных центров.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of this study was to characterize mutations in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome associated with HBsAg-negative form of the disease in patients receiving hemodialysis replacement therapy. Materials and methods. We used blood plasma samples obtained from hemodialysis centers in St. Petersburg, Russia – 173 patients and 108 patients from Belgrade, Republic of Serbia. The samples were examined for the presence of serological (HBsAg, antibodies anti-HBs IgG, anti-HBcore IgG) and molecular-genetic (HBV DNA) markers of HBV followed by whole-genome sequencing and determination of clinically significant virus mutations. Results and discussion. Antibodies to hepatitis B were detected in 7.5 % and 11.1 % of patients from St. Petersburg and Belgrade, respectively. HBsAg was identified only in 1.1 % of cases in the group from Russia and in 0.9 % of cases in the group from Serbia. HBV DNA was determined in 2.8 % of the studied samples from both, patients from Saint-Petersburg and Belgrade. Phylogenetic analysis of 9 viral isolates showed that genotype D virus (88.9 %) prevailed as compared to genotype A (11.1 %) in the examined group. Among the samples obtained from patients from St. Petersburg, four belonged to the D2 sub-genotype, one to the D3 genotype. Four samples obtained from Belgrade patients belonged to different sub-genotypes – D1, D2, D3, A2, respectively. When analyzing the nucleotide sequences of the HBV genomes, mutations in the MHR region were detected in all cases, but only in HBsAg-negative isolates, mutations were revealed in the region of 124–147 amino acids, including mutations P120T, R122K, A128V, Q129R, M133I, G145R affecting the recognition of HBsAg by anti-HBs antibodies and associated with the resistance of the virus to the vaccine. The results of this study indicate that transmission of blood-borne viral hepatitis agent in the hemodialysis departments of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Serbia still exists. The prevalence of the latent chronic hepatitis B, coupled with the presence of vaccine escape mutations in all identified cases, indicates the need to pay close attention to the occurrence of the virus mutant variants in hemodialysis centers.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>вирус гепатита В</kwd><kwd>оккультный гепатит В</kwd><kwd>скрытый гепатит В</kwd><kwd>серологические маркеры</kwd><kwd>молекулярно-биологические маркеры</kwd><kwd>клинически значимые мутации</kwd><kwd>лабораторная диагностика</kwd><kwd>гемодиализ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hepatitis В virus</kwd><kwd>occult hepatitis B infection</kwd><kwd>latent hepatitis B serological markers</kwd><kwd>molecular-biological markers</kwd><kwd>clinically significant mutations</kwd><kwd>laboratory diagnostics</kwd><kwd>hemodialysis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Строков А.Г., Гуревич К.Я., Ильин А.П., Денисов А.Ю., Земченков А.Ю., Андрусев А.М., Шутов Е.В., Котенко О.Н., Злоказов В.Б.
