Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The epidemiology of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in North America may be changing as a result of immigration from endemic countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of HBV genotypes, precore (PC) and core promoter (CP) variants, and the proportion of patients meeting treatment criteria for HBV. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of consecutive HBV patients...
