## Abstract The clinical relevance of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, defined as detectable HBV DNA serum/liver, in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), is unclear. We determined the prevalence of serum occult HBV infection in HIV/HCV coโinfected patients enrolled in APRICO

## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVโDNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) is common in chronic hepatitis C, its characteristics are not well known. In this work, the presence of HBVโDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have similar transmission routes, implying that patients infected with HIV are at particular risk for HBV infection. Patients who are coโinfected with HIV and HBV progress more rapidly to endโstage liver disease and differen
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) isolates from Iranian patients around the country were characterized. Eightyโone complete genomes from HBV isolates were sequenced and analyzed. The studied population was grouped into three categories including inactive carriers, patients with chronic hepatitis,
