Abstract excerpt

The type of hepatitis B virus ("wild-type" or precore mutant) in anti-e antigen antibody-positive carriers, viral DNA levels in the serum, and core and e antigen expression in the liver were investigated to search for a possible correlation of these factors with the severity of liver damage. Two major groups of patients were found: the patients in group A were predominantly infected with precore mutant virus and...
