Hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore mutants are associated often with highly productive infection in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers lacking hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) but positive for anti-HBe, rendering serological identification of infectious individuals unreliable. Although considere
The nucleotide sequences of the core upstream and precore regions (371 nucleotide length, nt. 1604-1974) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were analysed sequentially in three subjects who were positive serorogically for anti-HBe and had acute clinical exacerbation after immunosuppressive treatment. These p
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains from anti-HBe positive patients often show specific mutations in the precore gene, the core promoter region, or both. The dynamics of seroconversion in relation to the appearance of these mutations has not been studied and compared between defined HBV genotypes. Sampl
