Occult hepatitis B virus infection.

Journal of hepatology - 1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

The persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) negative individuals is termed occult HBV infection. Occult HBV status is associated in some cases with mutant viruses undetectable by HBsAg assays, but more frequently it is due to a strong suppression of viral replication and gene expression. Occult HBV infection is an entity with world-wide diffusion, although the available data...
