Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B virus infection confers a favorable prognosis, but untoward outcomes may develop in some patients. The impact of the age of HBeAg seroconversion on prognosis is not clearly known. HBeAg-positive patients with biopsy-proven chronic h
Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B (eΟͺCHB) has been reported in Asia but its prevalence and clinical significance have not been determined. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of eΟͺCHB in Hong Kong and the frequency of precore and core promoter mutations in these
Hepatitis B core antigen was measured in sera of patients with acute and chronic hepatitis B virus infection by a modified radioimmunoassay based on high molarity treatment of samples to avoid masking of antigen by homologous antibody. A good correlation between hepatitis B core antigen levels and s
Foscarnet (trisodium phosphonoformate) is a novel antiviral agent that inhibits viral-specific DNA polymerase. In the present study, eight males with chronic HBV carriage (HBeAg and HBV-DNA seropositivity >I2 months) showing chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH) or chronic active hepatitis (CAH) on liv
The age-specific prevalence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and its antibody (anti-HBe) were studied by radioimmunoassay, and compared in a large series of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, including 268 asymptomatic carriers, 389 chronic hepatitis, 114 liver cirrhosis, and 2
