A molecular analysis of viral persistence in surface antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.) - 1 Mar 1996

Abstract excerpt

To identify the mechanisms of viral persistence in patients with chronic hepatitis B after the acquisition of anti-hepatitis B surface antigen antibodies (antiHBs), we serially analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the envelope region in a cohort of infected patients. Four patients with histological diagnoses of chronic hepatitis B who had at least 5 years of observance by our hospital staff were studied. All but...
