## Abstract A study was conducted during a 1 year follow‐up to characterize the viral kinetics in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)‐positive chronic hepatitis B and to develop a model of predicting the probability of spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion. Fifty‐seven patients with HBeAg‐positive chronic hep
IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) was determined in 60 patients whose serum was positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and 18 patients whose serum was negative for HBsAg, but positive for antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc). Two radioimmunoassap were done
Three-hundred forty-one HBsAg-positive family members of 152 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (47 asymptomatic carriers, 59 with chronic hepatitis, 17 with cirrhosis and 29 with hepatocellular carcinoma) were prospectively studied to determine the morbidity and mortality from chroni
In order to determine the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of human white blood cells and different forms of HBV-associated liver diseases, we tested for HBV DNA in the sera and leukocytes of 11 healthy individuals without any serological markers of HBV infection and 91 patient
## 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 HBeAg‐positive group, all were positive for HBV DNA
