HBV vaccination may increase TTV load in genogroup 3 carriers; hypothesis-generating and should not alter practice.
Does immunization with influenza or hepatitis B vaccine alter the viral load of Torque Teno virus (TTV) in subjects?
Exposure to a new antigen (HBV vaccine) may stimulate TTV replication more effectively than a recall antigen (influenza vaccine), particularly for TTV genogroup 3.
Maggi et al. (2004) studied this question.
