Abstract excerpt
In the course of hepatitis B, serum concentrations of the virus usually fall following sero-conversion, characterized by the loss of HBe antigen and appearance of detectable anti-HBe. However, hepatitis B viremia may persist even after sero-conversion. We assessed the association of continuous viremia with the precore (PC) (G1896A) mutation, basic core promoter (BCP) (A1762T, G1764A) mutations, the viral genotype...
