In the present study we have investigated 53 patients with a spectrum of acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for the presence of leucocyte HBV-DNA with the aid of molecular techniques. HBV-DNA was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 31 of 45 (69%) of chronic HBsAg carri

The presence of hepatitis B virus DNA in serum was determined in 57 unselected patients during the course from acute to chronic hepatitis B infection. Forty-six (81%) patients were hepatitis B virus DNA-positive in the first available serum sample. Generally, hepatitis B virus DNA was cleared before
In a large population of patients, chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection was usually associated with absence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. However, acute HDV superinfection progressing to chronic HDV infection in two hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive HBV carriers and coinfecti
Two chimpanzees with persistent non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis were superinfected with marmoset-passaged MS-1 HAV. Two control chimpanzees were also infected with marmoset-passaged HAV. Neither animal with persistent NANB hepatitis developed elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, whereas b
ince the discovery of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the late 1980s, there has been an explosion of information regarding its natural history, treatment, and replication cycle. Nonetheless, there are still relatively few data regarding acute HCV infection. By convention, the term acute hepatitis ref
