Molecular and serological characterization of occult hepatitis B infection in blood donors from Mexico.

Annals of hepatology - 1 Jan 2000

García-Montalvo Beatriz María, Ventura-Zapata Laura Patricia

Abstract excerpt

Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) is characterized by presence of HBV DNA in blood or liver tissue without detectable HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), with or without antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) or antibodies against HBsAg (anti-HBs). A molecular and serological characterization was done of OBI in blood donors from Yucatan, Mexico. HBV DNA was found in 24 (6.4%) of the 372 evaluated...
