Abstract excerpt

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 subsequently received interferon (IFN) therapy. HBV DNA was detected in 34 (52.3%) patients by a nested polymerase chain...
