## Objective: To analyze disease-free survival in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (anca)-associated small-vessel vasculitis (aav) treated with cyclophosphamide only or switched to azathioprine after 3 months of full remission while taking cyclophosphamide. ## Methods: We analyze
Serum samples from 20 anti-hepatitis B e antigenpositive patients with and without normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels who had serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detectable only by polymerase chain reation (PCR) were examined. Viral DNA was amplified by PCR, using primers that encompassed pr
To investigate the meaning of the mutations in the enhancer 2/core promoter (Enh2/CP) region of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during the chronic HBV infection, mutations were examined in the Enh2/ CP region (carboxyl half of X region) and their correlation with mutations in the precore and core regions in
