## Abstract The clinical relevance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes has been documented; however, the prevalence of mixed HBV genotype infections in atβrisk groups remains controversial. The HBV genotypes were determined in 325 HBVβinfected intravenous drug users (IVDU) who were at a greater ri

## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly endemic throughout subβSaharan Africa. One of the two genotypes A and E dominates in most countries. With several subgenotypes and variants, genotype A is more diverse in Africa (4.00%) than in the rest of the world (2.96%), suggesting an African origin
Eighty-six patients were followed for 6.5 years to study the epidemiological, virological, and histological course of chronic delta hepatitis and the relationship of this disease with HIV and HCV infection. Patients were classified into four groups according to simultaneous HCV and/or HIV infection
H epatitis B virus (HBV) has been classified into 8 genotypes (A-H) based on an intergroup divergence of 8% or more in the complete nucleotide sequence.'J Figure illustrates the geographic distribution of HBV genotypes, but existing information is incomplete, as data in many parts of the world are
