A Case of S-Variant Hepatitis B Virus: An Immune System Escape Artist.

Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports - 1 Jan 2000

Shah Amar S, Civelli Valerie F, Bali Varun, Johnson Royce H, Heidari Arash

Abstract excerpt

Genomic variants of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS/S protein are well-known to occur. Typically, immunity is gained through recovered HBV infection or by immunization. Very rarely, there are certain mutations that may enable HBV escape from the immune detection. PreS/S mutants may present with unpredictable pathobiologic, clinical, and transmittable implications. Standard laboratory testing for genomic HBV...
