Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global public health problem with changing epidemiology due to several factors including vaccination policies and migration. This Clinical Practice Guideline presents updated recommendations for the …

We have developed a specialized database, HBVdb, allowing the researchers to investigate the genetic variability of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and viral resistance to treatment. HBV is a major health problem worldwide with more than 350 million individuals being chronically infected.

Virological diagnosis and monitoring of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are based on serologic assays detecting specific anti-HBV antibodies, and assays that can detect, quantify or characterize the components of HBV viral particles, such as HBV DNA and various viral antigens.

Jan 4, 2023 · Chronic hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), a hepatotropic DNA virus that can replicate at high levels and cause minimal disease or severe liver injury. The clinical...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes and subgenotypes have distinct geographical distributions and influence a number of clinical disease features and responses to treatment. There are many reports on the distribution of HBV genotypes, but great differences are present between studies.

Current antiviral therapy does not cure CHB due to the persistence of cccDNA, the HBV transcriptional template that is formed during infection in the hepatocyte nucleus. The scientific community defines a functional cure as the equivalent of an acute resolved infection.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus, belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family. It is a partially double-stranded DNA virus with a small viral genome (3.2 kb). Chronic HBV infection remains a global public health problem.
