Detection of hepatitis B activity in HBeAg-negative carriers with normal aminotransferase levels in central Brazil

Detection of hepatitis B activity in HBeAg-negative carriers with normal aminotransferase levels in central Brazil

Background and rationale for the study. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronic infection may follow a benign course with low risk of cirrhosis or liver cancer. As differentiation of inactive status from HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B is often challenging, monitoring of inactive HBV carriers is importan...
