## Abstract The integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the liver of chronic HBV carriers has been documented extensively. However, the status of the viral genome during acute infection has not been assessed conclusively. While HBV DNA sequences are detected often in serum, liver, and periphe

## Abstract This study aimed to examine the application of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) confirmatory testing when diagnosing hepatitis B infection among young persons in Taiwan with a low prevalence rate of hepatitis B infection. HBsAg status, the presence of antibodies against HBsAg (antiβH
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA may persist in the liver in the absence of serum HBVβDNA after a selfβlimited acute hepatitis B. This may also occur in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection but its prevalence and its impact on liver histology is unknown. HBVβDNA was tested
Some individuals who are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) eventually lose hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been demonstrated to occur in a few patients after loss of HBsAg. Neither factors associated with loss of HBsAg nor the incidence of HCC
