Frequent coinfection of surface antigen-negative hepatitis B virus (silent HBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated chronic liver disease (CLD) has been reported. The clinical and virological significance of silent HBV infection was investigated in 65 patients with HCV-associated CLD who subsequen
We read with great interest and enthusiasm the updated American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases practice guidelines, "Diagnosis, Management, and Treatment of Hepatitis C" by Strader et al., who comprehensively reviewed the current status and pointed out areas requiring more studies. 1 Un
The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVβDNA 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 HBVβDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
