## 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 Quantitative determination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA concentration is the most important measure for an estimation of the infectivity of an HBV positive health care worker and the basis for the decision whether he or she is allowed to perform exposure prone procedures. Thus questio
## Abstract The usefulness of fully automated chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (Architect HBsAg QT) for monitoring serum levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during antiviral therapy remains unclear. Using this assay, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was measured in 20 patients with chron
We followed 145 men with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) hepatitis for 10 years to determine whether exposure to aflatoxin, or concomitant exposure to hepatitis C virus (HCV), or family history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) increased the risk of developing HCC. We collected 8 monthly urine sampl
## Abstract Because it was observed recently that yeast‐derived recombinant HBsAg interacts in a lipopolysaccharide binding protein‐dependent manner with CD14 expressed on human monocytes, we investigated whether HBsAg influences the serum levels of sCD14, lipopolysaccharide binding protein and C‐r
