## 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

## Abstract The clinical and virological significance of low‐level viremia by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐infected patients remains unclear. HBV‐DNA and HCV‐RNA were, therefore, quantitatively analyzed in livers and sera from co‐infected patients. HBV‐DNA and HCV‐RNA were qua
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
Three-hundred forty-one HBsAg-positive family members of 152 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (47 asymptomatic carriers, 59 with chronic hepatitis, 17 with cirrhosis and 29 with hepatocellular carcinoma) were prospectively studied to determine the morbidity and mortality from chroni
The relationship between plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels, antibody positivity, and hepatocellular damage were studied i n 41 patients with non-A, non-B chronic liver disease. The patients were placed into t w o groups according to the plasma levels of HCV-RNA: plasma HCV-RNA level was esti
