Abstract
The National Institute of Health’s (NIH)workshop, “Management of Hepatitis B,”has proposed the HBV DNA level of 105 copies/ml (20,000 IU/mL) as the point of differentiationof chronic hepatitis B from the inactive carrier state(1). Optimal management of chronic hepatitis Brequires the use of PCR assays to establish a baselineHBV DNA level and then the use of PCR assayantiviral therapy for monitoring the response andviral rebound associated with viral resistance (2).
