Serum Neopterin Monitoring in Hepatitis B e Antigen Positive Chronic Type B Hepatitis with Recurrent Acute Exacerbation

Activation of cellular immunity, mainly cytotoxic T cells, plays an important role in the · mechanisms of cyclic acute exacerbation of hepatocellular damage (AE) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers. Monitoring of the dynamics of immunoreactivity is clinically important to manage the patients and rec...
