Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core gene heterogeneity may influence the outcome of liver disease and the response to interferon (IFN) therapy in adult HBV carriers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between HBV core gene variability and evolution of chronic hepatitis in children. METHODS: We examined serum samples from 25 children with HBV chronic hepatitis and HBe antigen...
