## BACKGROUND. The effect of prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the clinicopathologic findings for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unclear. ## METHODS. Of 59 patients who underwent liver resection for HCV-related HCC (Υ 2.0 cm in greate

## BACKGROUND. Recently, it has been reported that hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is detected in cancerous liver tissues in some hepatitis B surface antigen negative chronic hepatitis C patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the significance of HBV DNA detected in such cases remains u
The etiology of sporadic acute hepatitis was studied in 334 consecutive patients from Taiwan (237 men and 97 women, aged 16-81 years), with emphasis on the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) in acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis an
The aim of the study was to investigate whether an ''inapparent'' coinfection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in anti-HCV-positive chronic liver disease patients may influence interferon (IFN) response. Fourteen anti-HCV-positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative but serum HBV-DNA-positive pa
In patients with chronic hepatitis B and C virus (HBV, HCV) infection, an inverse relationship in the replicative activity of the two viruses has been reported. In the present study the genotype of HCV was evaluated in 34 consecutive cases found with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV
