Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B [PDF]
Summary HBeAg-negative CHB has now a worldwide distribution, developing in the course of HBeAg-positive chronic HBV infection during or after the phase of HBeAg loss and its seroconversion to anti-HBe. It is caused by replicating noncytopathic HBV mutants either unable to produce HBeAg (precore mutants) or with down-regulated transcription of the ...
