## Republic of China Sera from 410 patients from the Wuhan area in the central part of China with the diagnosis of chronic liver disease were analyzed for markers of hepatitis B, C and D virus infections. All sera, plus liver biopsy specimens from 188 of the patients, were also tested for hepatiti
No data are available about the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes in liver of patients with chronic HBV infection. The aim of this study was to quantify the intrahepatic HBV DNA in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive patients with either active or suppressed viral replication and in
To investigate the relationship between hepatocarcinogenesis and integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the cellular DNA of the liver, we studied the integration of HBV DNA in various noncancerous regions of the liver from 31 patients using Southern blot analysis. Of 13 patients without hepat
The age-specific prevalence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and its antibody (anti-HBe) were studied by radioimmunoassay, and compared in a large series of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, including 268 asymptomatic carriers, 389 chronic hepatitis, 114 liver cirrhosis, and 2
## BACKGROUND. Recently, it has been reported that hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is detected in cancerous liver tissues in some hepatitis B surface antigen negative chronic hepatitis C patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the significance of HBV DNA detected in such cases remains u
