| الوصف: | Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health issue that must be addressed. Aim: The goal of this study was to investigate the correlation between serological status for hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg)/anti-HBe, serum transaminase levels, and serum HBV-DNA in patients with chronic HBV infection. Methods: A retrospective observational study with 620 patients with persistent HBV infection (mean age, 36.35 years; 506 men) was conducted. All patients tested positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Liver profile, HBeAg, and anti-HBe antibody tests were conducted for all patients. Additionally, serum HBV DNA was examined using a DNA assay in these individuals. Results: Of 620 patients, 114 (18.39%) were HBeAg-positive and 506 (81.61%) HBeAg-negative. A detectable level of HBV DNA was found in 89.79% of HBeAg-positive/anti-HBe negative patients compared to HBeAg-negative/anti-HBe positive carriers 33.69% (P value |
