Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and RNA can reflect intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) activity. However, correlations among viral markers haven't been fully explored. OBJECTIVES: Here we investigated the correlations between serum HBV RNA and other viral markers in acute hepatitis B patients and treatment-naïve chronic HBV-infected individuals. STUDY DESIGN: The serum viral...
