✦ Synopsis

This symposium is intended to be on rapid laboratory methods of diagnosis with special reference to hepatitis B. In fact the most urgent situations seem to be those involving presumed exposure to hepatitis B and whether or not specific gammaglobulin should be given. I am also going to discuss to what extent it is advisable to test for infectivity markers, such as DNA polymerase, e-antigen, etc in this situation. What is needed is rapid decisions, and the need for rapid laboratory tests is dependent on the extent they are needed to support these decisions.

Sixty-three intravenous drug addicts with HBsAg positive hepatitis were studied to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) markers for diagnosis of acute HDV infection. Patients were tested for HBsAg, anti-HBc-IgM, and anti-HD-IgM by radioimmunoassay (RIA), and for hepatiti

In the present study we have investigated 53 patients with a spectrum of acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for the presence of leucocyte HBV-DNA with the aid of molecular techniques. HBV-DNA was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 31 of 45 (69%) of chronic HBsAg carri

## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been classified into eight genotypes and can be further divided into several subgenotypes that have different geographic distributions. Because of increased human migration, the prevalence of rare subgenotypes is increasing in Japanese patients with acute hep
