## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was assayed using the polymerase chain reaction in serum samples of 116 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers, including 30 positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and 86 negative for HBeAg. In the HBeAgβpositive group, all were positive for HBV DNA
Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease where both endogenous (genetic) and exogenous (environmental) factors play a part. Viral infections, in particular herpesvirus infections, have been identified as a possible triggering factor for pemphigus. In this study, using the polymerase chain reaction, we stu
