## Abstract Occult HBV infection is a wellโrecognised clinical entity characterised by the detection of HBVโDNA in serum and/or in liver in the absence of detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Occult HBV infection has been described not only in patients who have resolved an acute or chron
The prevalence of antibody to hepatitis C virus among Chinese subjects in Taiwan was evaluated using a commercially available enzyme immunoassay. The overall prevalence of antibody to hepatitis C virus was 0.28% among 1,419 healthy subjects, 0.8% among 500 unselected paid blood donors and 0.4% among
## Abstract To investigate the prevalence of genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Taiwan, genotypes were identified in 122 (36 antiโHCVโpositive blood donors, 44 antiโHCVโpositive aborigines, 28 hemodialysis patients, and 14 patients with chronic liver diseases) of 280 subj
## Abstract To investigate the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in childhood liver disease in Taiwan, an area hyperendemic for hepatitis B, we studied antibody to HCV (antiโHCV) with a second generation enzyme immunoassay in 195 infants and children, including 96 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
## Abstract Since hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) are transmitted by the same routes as hepatitis B virus (HBV), simultaneous or concurrent HCV and HDV infection in patients with chronic HBV infection may occur. To test this hypothesis and to examine the clinicohistological
