Abstract excerpt

Although Korea is one of the endemic areas for hepatitis B virus infection (HBV), the prevalence of deletions in HBV preS region occurring naturally have not been determined. In the present study, the prevalence of preS deletions was determined in terms of clinical state and HBeAg serostatus in 120 patients with different clinical features [59 HBeAg positive, 61 HBeAg negative; 38 asymptomatic carriers, 21...
