We have cloned and sequenced an infectious, functionally active genome of a duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV). It is 3,021 base pairs (bp) in length and shows little DNA sequence homology to the genome of human hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the amino acid sequences of predicted viral gene products

## Abstract To investigate further the possible role of mutant hepatitis B viruses in the pathogenesis of fulminant hepatitis B, the genomic sequence of hepatitis B virus isolates from 9 South African blacks with this disease, including 5 entire genomes, was analysed. Seven of the isolates were gen
## Abstract It is well known that fulminant hepatitis B can occur in infants born to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)βnegative hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier mothers, whereas fulminant hepatitis and severe hepatitis are uncommon in infants born to HBeAgβpositive mothers. We have encountered an infant
## Abstract Hepatitis viruses are the leading causes of chronic liver disease resulting in chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in the world and also in Turkey. Although Turkey has an intermediate rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with a prevalence reported as 5%, a co
