## Abstract A study was carried out to determine whether hepatitis A virus (HAV) can be detected in the stools of patients hospitalized for HAV infection. Acute phase samples of whole blood and stool, as well as completed questionnaires, were obtained from 31 patients hospitalized at any of 13 hosp

It is unclear whether the current antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in complete elimination of the virus, or whether small quantities of virus persist. Our study group comprised 17 patients with chronic HCV who had sustained virological response (SVR) after in
mmol/L of each of an internal antisense primer (A2; TCCACTCAAsaki 216, Japan. TGCATCCACTG) and the sense primer (A1), 200 mmol/L of each
Lamivudine is an effective antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic type B hepatitis. Recent studies have shown the appearance of lamivudine resistant viruses with mutations at the tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) motif of the viral polymerase in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected pa
The excretion of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in stools from 30 patients with clinically overt hepatitis A infection on the day of their admission to the hospital was determined and compared with the dynamics and values of biochemical indices of hepatocyte injury as well as with the immune response to HA
The hypervariable domain (HVRI) within the Nterminus of the E2 protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is known to be variable antigenically during the course of persistent infection. The aim of the study was to detect B-cell epitopes in HVRI responsible for neutralizing HCV. The B-cell epitopes were ana
