摘要: Abstract We assessed the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in liver or serum samples from 134 patients with surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative chronic disease, including 20 hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV sequences were detected 52 88 (59 per cent), 17 Presumably "replicative forms" only 5 samples, 3 which no serologic marker for HBV. In most patterns consistent a closely related virus. Of 105 tested, identified 10 (9.5 6 had marker. Moreover, HBsAg-associated determinants who positive and none 14 negative. This study demonstrates high frequency HBsAg-negative DNA–positive viral infectio...
