Frequent coinfection of surface antigen-negative hepatitis B virus (silent HBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated chronic liver disease (CLD) has been reported. The clinical and virological significance of silent HBV infection was investigated in 65 patients with HCV-associated CLD who subsequen

## Abstract Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection can cause severe acute and chronic liver disease in patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Despite the significant decline in the global HDV infection, it remains a major health concern in some countries. This study aimed to investigate the pre
## Abstract To evaluate clinical significance of a set of SNPs of HBV core gene, a modified PCRβRFLP assay developed by Hannoun was adapted to determine HBV SNPs in 312 Chinese Han patients with chronic hepatitis B. Five typical RFLP patterns were found and named RFLP patterns C, D, E, G, and C/G m
## Abstract Among patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) rarely increases above 500 IU/L. We examined the clinical and virological features of untreated patients with serum ALTββ₯β500 IU/L. One thousand seven hundred and sixty adult patients wit
Whether sustained biochemical response and absence of serum HCV RNA in the 6-12 months following suspension of interferon-β£ (IFN-β£) therapy reflect definitive viral clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is controversial.
