Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are associated with increased graft failure and reduced patient survival. We evaluated the effects of both HCC recurrence and HBV reinfection on the long-term survival of

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore mutations in patients with anti-me-positive chronic hepatitis B with or without previous known HBe antigen (HBeAg) viremic phase, and to assess the potential implication of precore mutants in HBeAg-negative react
## Serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen and IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen were tested in 15 patients who participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of a 28-day course of prednisolone therapy. During treatment, serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core anti
