## Abstract Since hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) are transmitted by the same routes as hepatitis B virus (HBV), simultaneous or concurrent HCV and HDV infection in patients with chronic HBV infection may occur. To test this hypothesis and to examine the clinicohistological
## Abstract Although occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBVβDNA 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 HBVβDNA (by polymerase chain reaction; PCR) and its distribu
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
In a previous study a partial inhibition of viral replication was observed in HBeAg-positive patients after acyclovir (ACV) treatment. To assess those results and to evaluate different treatment regimens, a randomized controlled trial with ACV given at 45 mg/kg/day by continuous infusion (in 5 pati
