Sera from 153 Israeli patients in various stages of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with undetectable hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) were studied for the presence of HBV DNA in the serum by molecular hybridization. HBV DNA was detected in 10 patients: 3 with acute hepatitis, 4 asymptomatic hepatitis
## Abstract The patterns of hepatitis B virus DNA (HBVโDNA) 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 HBVโDNA were detected in all of the samples and integrat
