Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) e antigen (HBeAg), HBV DNA and precore mutations affecting HBeAg expression during active replication were studied in 72 Tunisian hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive individuals: 30 asymptomatic carriers of the virus, 37 with chronic hepatitis and 5 with acute hepatitis. HBV DNA was detected in 44 patients, but only 20% of them expressed HBeAg. Precore mutant strains, with...
