The molecular basis of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative infections.

Journal of viral hepatitis - 1 Jan 1997

Miyakawa Y, Okamoto H, Mayumi M

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative infections are an unusual form of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in which viral replication and liver damage persist despite antibodies against HBeAg. This form of HBV may be associated with fulminant hepatitis. The molecular basis for an HBeAg-minus phenotype has been extensively studied and is most often a result of mutations in the precore region. However,...
