Isolates of hepatitis A virus (HAV) are of a single serotype, with human isolates being categorised within four genotypes. In addition, there are three genotypes exclusively associated with Old World monkeys. In some geographical regions, related isolates cluster suggesting endemic spread of the vir
HBsAg is the most important serological marker for acute or chronic hepatitis B. Nevertheless, there are reports of HBsAg-negative virus carriers, either with anti-HBc as the only marker for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or even positive for anti-HBs and anti-HBc.
