## Abstract The major hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes in Japan are B and C. HBV genotype D (HBV/D), however, is widespread in a small area of Western Japan, where the GianottiβCrosti syndrome caused by HBV subtype __ayw__, which is suspected to be HBV/D, was endemic in the 1970s. The aim of the s
The aim of this work was to analyze whether the treatment of acute rejection of orthotopic liver transplants (OLT), either with corticoids or OKT3, has any effect on levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA and HbsAg in individuals which were originally affected by cirrhosis or fulminant hepatic failur
## Abstract The genotype distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) was investigated in 118 children in Japan. One hundred and sixteen children (98%) had chronic HBV infection, and the remainder had acute hepatitis. Genotyping of HBV was determined by PCR and sequencing analysis in the S gene. Genotyp
## Abstract The genotypeβrelated differences between genotype C and genotype D of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) remain unknown. The relationship was studied between the HBV genotypes and their clinical features, paying special attention to genotypes C and D. Serum samples from 413 HBV carriers were g
