## Abstract The integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the liver of chronic HBV carriers has been documented extensively. However, the status of the viral genome during acute infection has not been assessed conclusively. While HBV DNA sequences are detected often in serum, liver, and periphe
Progressive and sufficient decrease of hepatitis B core antibody can predict the disappearance of hepatitis B virus DNA in Japanese patients with hepatitis B surface antigen clearance

To clarify the relationship between the pre-S antigens and other serological markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, we followed up 27 patients: 21 presented with symptoms of acute hepatitis (two progressed to chronicity) and six suffered from chronic hepatitis. Pre-S1, pre-S2, HBV DNA, IgM
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs antibodies (anti-HBs) may coexist in certain chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study was designed to further explore the relationship between this coexistence and hepatitis B Virus (HBV) preS deletions. Sera of 28 patients carrying both HBsAg a
