Genotype D occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections (OBIs) have a high frequency of amino acid substitutions in the major hydrophilic region of the small surface protein (S protein). This possibly reflects an escape mutation mechanism to evade detection by the host immune system. Mutations may also

## Abstract To assess quantitative serology in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, testing by novel immunoassays has been carried out on 202 specimens from untreated patients and in 83 samples from 10 patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with lamivudine. Serum samples were assayed for q
