Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutants of the a determinant of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) can escape neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies and prevail in an immunized population. METHODS: We evaluated the a mutants in a pediatric population surveyed in 2004 and compared these findings with the data of previous surveys. RESULTS: There were 38 children and 74 adolescents who were HBsAg positive, and serum hepatitis B...
