Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detection in serum and/or in the liver of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative patients with or without serologic markers of previous viral exposure is defined as occult HBV infection. Because the role of the adaptive response in keeping HBV replication under control in occult infection still is undefined, this study was performed to characterize the features...
