Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Occult HBV infection can persist following HBsAg loss and be transmitted, but the virological features are not well defined. METHODS: Here we investigated 25 Korean patients who lost HBsAg during follow up, either spontaneously or subsequent to therapy. RESULTS: Whereas subtype adr (genotype C) was found in 96% of HBsAg positive patients, 75 % of patients who lost HBsAg spontaneously were seemed...
