pubmed-article:9055880 | pubmed:abstractText | Eleven hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier children, infected with genotypes A-D, were treated with interferon-alpha. Two children had a sustained loss of hepatitis B e-antigen and HBV DNA. They were infected with the non-Asian genotypes A and D, and had low HBV DNA and high ALT levels in serum before treatment. However, HBV DNA titres decreased during treatment also in children infected with the East-Asian genotypes B and C. | lld:pubmed |
