## Abstract Antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (anti‐HBs) can exist in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To date, little is known about the association of concurrent HBsAg and anti‐HBs (concurrent HBsAg/ anti‐HBs) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of t

HBsAg is the most important serological marker for acute or chronic hepatitis B. Nevertheless, there are reports of HBsAg-negative virus carriers, either with anti-HBc as the only marker for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or even positive for anti-HBs and anti-HBc. We report isolates from a patie

"Escape" variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause infection despite previous immunization. These viruses show alterations of the immunogenic major hydrophilic loop of the HBV small surface protein (s-protein).
