Hepatitis B and D viruses replication interference: Influence of hepatitis B genotype

Figure 2 Box-plot analysis of the hepatitis B virus-DNA levels (A) and the hepatitis B surface antigen titers (B) in the different HBV genotypes of the four groups of patients analyzed. HBV-genotype E patients were present only in the HIV negative patients with CHD. Data of HBV-DNA and HBsAg titers are expressed as log₁₀ of copies/mL and IU/mL, respectively. Extreme values are represented as circles or asterisks. HBV: Hepatitis B virus; HDV: Hepatitis delta virus; HIV: Human immunodeficiency virus; CHD: Chronic hepatitis delta; HBsAg: Hepatitis B surface antigen.
