## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA may persist in the liver in the absence of serum HBV–DNA after a self‐limited acute hepatitis B. This may also occur in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection but its prevalence and its impact on liver histology is unknown. HBV–DNA was tested
In the present study we have investigated 53 patients with a spectrum of acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for the presence of leucocyte HBV-DNA with the aid of molecular techniques. HBV-DNA was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 31 of 45 (69%) of chronic HBsAg carri
An analysis of the expression of the histocompatibility antigens in the livers of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and normal subjects has demonstrated an increased expression of HLA-A,B,C antigens on the hepatocytes of patients with a low level of viral replication (HBe antibody po
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBV‐DNA 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 HBV‐DNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
