Overt and hidden coinfection with hepatitis B and C viruses in chronic liver disease and porhyria cutanea tarda

Original language description

The aim of this study was to assess the rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection ("the coinfection") in chronic liver disease (CLD) and to reveal overt and hidden HBV infection in patients with antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV).A total of 209 untreated patients (64 with chronic hepatitis B, 79 with chronic hepatitis C and 66 with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT)) were screened for serological markers of HBV and HCV infection in serum by third generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods and for HBV DNA and HCV RNA in serum by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The rate of the overt coinfection in chronic hepatitis B was very low (2/64, 3%). However, in chronic hepatitis C, the rate of the hidden coinfection with HBV was relatively high (19/79, 24%); these patients had higher alanine transaminase (ALT) and asparagine transaminase (AST) levels in serum and a more advanced liver disease. In PCT patients, the rates of HBV and HCV infections were the sa
