## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBV‐DNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBV‐DNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu

## Abstract The patterns of hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV‐DNA) expression were studied in 2 sequential liver biopsies from 26 children (18 treated with interferon and 8 controls) with chronic hepatitis B. In the basal biopsy replicative forms of HBV‐DNA were detected in all of the samples and integrat
In order to determine the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of human white blood cells and different forms of HBV-associated liver diseases, we tested for HBV DNA in the sera and leukocytes of 11 healthy individuals without any serological markers of HBV infection and 91 patient
## Abstract The effects of heat, sodium hypochlorite, diethyl ether, and ethyl alcohol on the activity of DNA polymerase (DNA‐P) associated with hepatitis B virsus (HBV) in serum were evaluated. The response of DNA‐P to heating at 60°C for 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 minutes was studied a
This placebo controlled, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy and safety of lamivudine in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative/hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA-positive chronic hepatitis B. Patients were randomized to receive 100 mg lamivudine orally once daily for 52 weeks (n ؍ 60
