Frequent coinfection of surface antigen-negative hepatitis B virus (silent HBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated chronic liver disease (CLD) has been reported. The clinical and virological significance of silent HBV infection was investigated in 65 patients with HCV-associated CLD who subsequen
## Abstract In a single hospital in Tokyo, the 87 patients infected persistently with hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype A, the 413 with B, and the 3,389 with C were compared for virological outcome. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was cleared from the serum in 12% (3/26), 2% (2/112), and 3% (23/
