## Abstract During 35 years from 1971 to 2005, 153 patients with acute and 4,277 with chronic HBV infection visited the Toranomon Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. They were grouped into seven 5βyear periods, and HBV genotypes/subgenotypes were determined. Patients with acute HBV infection were younger (__

The mechanism of development of chronicity after acute hepatitis B infection has not been elucidated fully. Following a single source outbreak of hepatitis B among 79 adult women, three patients (4%) became chronic carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV). We compared features of the virus and antibody r
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been observed in all stages of liver disease. Thus far all information about the physical state of HBV in mononuclear blood cells comes from Southern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. In this stud
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
Chronic evolution of acute hepatitis C (aHC) occurs in more than 80% of patients but can frequently be prevented by early treatment with interferon (IFN)-alpha. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are the major endogenous IFN-alpha producers, but their role in aHC is unknown. In this study, frequenc
