Occult Hepatitis B virus (o-HBV) infection has been reported in HB surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative liver donors whose risk of transmitting HBV justifies a specific prophylaxis in liver recipients. The clinical significance of o-HBV infection in HBsAg-negative recipients and their need for prophylax
## Abstract A few hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are characterized by the presence of HBV DNA in serum or liver tissue, or both, in the absence of detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in serum. However, such infections have rarely been described previously in North American patients.
Spontaneous loss of HBsAg is infrequent in adult HBV carriers. Little is known about this serological change in children. In a prospective study of 420 hepatitis B virus-carrier children who were observed for 1 to 12 yr (mean = 4.3 yr), spontaneous loss of HBsAg occurred in 10 patients, with an aver
## Abstract Relatively little is known about the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype G (HBV/G) in patients coβinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HBV. This study examined the prevalence and association of HBV/G to liver fibrosis in coβinfected patients. HBV genotypes were dete
