Fulminant hepatitis related to transmission of hepatitis B variants with precore mutations between spouses.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.) - 1 Jul 1992

Yotsumoto S, Kojima M, Shoji I, Yamamoto K, Okamoto H, Mishiro S

Abstract excerpt

A precore defective variant of hepatitis B virus has been indicated to cause fulminant hepatitis in various instances such as intrahospital outbreaks or mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus. To learn whether similar variants are involved in interspouse transmission, we analyzed three cases of fulminant hepatitis B that developed in formerly healthy subjects whose only exposure to hepatitis B virus...
