High prevalence of occult hepatitis B infection in an African urban population.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Apr 2016

Abstract excerpt

Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI), the presence of low hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels in patients without detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), has significant implications for understanding the natural history of hepatitis B infection. We determined the prevalence of OBI in African patients using a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and describe here the...
