## 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
## Abstract The clinical relevance of occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, defined as detectable HBV DNA serum/liver, in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), is unclear. We determined the prevalence of serum occult HBV infection in HIV/HCV co‐infected patients enrolled in APRICO
