This study was conducted to determine the rate of detection of serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative decompensated cirrhotic patients who had hepatitis B core a n d or surface antibodies (anti-HBc andor anti-HBs), and to compare the outcome of HBsAg-positi
## Abstract Sera from 20 Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B were examined for hepatitis B e antigen and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. There was considerable discordance with HBV DNA not being detectable in 10 out of 13 (77%) patients who were hepatitis B e antigen positive. Further testing fo
## Abstract We studied a familial cluster of adult HBV chronic carriers characterized by serological markers of active viral replication, normal or slightly elevated ALT levels and, in four out of five cases, absence of anti‐HBc reactivity. The nucleotide sequence of the pre‐C/C region of HBV was a
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health issue, especially in Asia. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) implicated genetic variants in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DP locus associated with chronic hepatitis B in Japanese and Thai populations. To confirm whether the
