Hepatitis B Virus Strains with Mutations in the Core Promoter in Patients with Fulminant Hepatitis
15 Feb 1995
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Fulminant hepatitis B can be induced by hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains with mutations in the precore region that cannot encode hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Such mutations are rarely seen in HBV DNA clones from patients with fulminant hepatitis B in the United States and France.
