Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A large outbreak of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the U.K. occurred between 2001 and 2005 in Bristol, U.K. OBJECTIVES: To identify HBV strains circulating amongst risk groups in the HBV outbreak cohort. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of acute HBV outbreak cases in Bristol. RESULTS: HBV sequences from sera of 95 of the 237 cases (40%) were characterised. The majority of cases (77%) were...
