Serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels can fluctuate markedly during the course of chronic HBV infection. Both case-control and cohort studies have shown a significant, dose-response association between serum HBV DNA levels measured at the time of initial evaluation and the subsequent risk of cirr

The results of immunological studies in serum and liver tissue from 26 patients with chronic HBsAgpositive hepatitis (15 CPH, 9 CAH, 2 MinH) are presented. Determination of serum immunoglobulins showed no significant differences between the three categories of HBsAg-positive CH. AGF, ANA and AMA we
Hepatitis B (HBV) and C viral (HCV) dual-infectionassociated liver disease is an uncommon indication for liver transplantation. The clinical and virologic outcomes in such patients have not been well studied. We retrospectively studied 13 patients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibod
## Abstract A study was conducted during a 1 year followβup to characterize the viral kinetics in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)βpositive chronic hepatitis B and to develop a model of predicting the probability of spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion. Fiftyβseven patients with HBeAgβpositive chronic hep
