Complete genome sequence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from a patient with fulminant hepatitis without precore and core promoter mutations: comparison with HBV from a patient with acute hepatitis infected from the same infectious source.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: There is a paucity of information regarding hepatitis B virus (HBV) from patients with fulminant hepatitis (FH) without precore (pre-C, nt 1896) and core promoter (CP, nt 1762, 1764) mutations. METHODS: Pre-C and CP mutations were studied in eight patients with FH and 26 patients...
