Prevalence of precore mutants in anti-HBe-positive hepatitis B virus carriers in GermanyA Knoll
Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, University of Regensburg, Germany
J Med Virol 59:14-8. 1999..In conclusion, HBV precore mutants are common in Germany and can therefore present a diagnostic problem for serological testing. However, precore mutants do not appear to have a detrimental effect on the course of chronic HBV infection...

World J Gastroenterol 12:1255-60. 2006..To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of "anti-HBc alone" in an unselected population of patients and employees of a university hospital in southern Germany...
Long-term surveillance of haematopoietic stem cell recipients with resolved hepatitis B: high risk of viral reactivation even in a recipient with a vaccinated donorA Knoll
Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
J Viral Hepat 14:478-83. 2007..In conclusion, the risk of reactivation of a resolved HBV infection is close to 100% in allogeneic stem cell recipients and vaccination of the donor does not always warrant reliable protection...
