Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Nucleic acid testing (NAT) for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in blood donations identified occult HBV infection (OBI) as a potential threat to blood safety. METHODS: A collaborative study was undertaken to explore the molecular basis of OBIs prevalent in Europe in relation to clinical and serological data. RESULTS: Ninety-one percent of 77 donor samples of European origin HBV DNA positive but HBV...
