The diagnosis of liver diseases induced by hepatitis B virus (HBV) is supported by the detection of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in serum. The present study aimed to investigate the presence of HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in patients with liver cirrhosis using a polymerase chain reaction @'CR) ba
## 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
## Abstract Sera from 20 Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B were examined for hepatitis B e antigen and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. There was considerable discordance with HBV DNA not being detectable in 10 out of 13 (77%) patients who were hepatitis B e antigen positive. Further testing fo
