Abstract
The spontaneous seroclearance of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA are important markers of progression of chronic HBV infection. We performed a long-term cohort study to elucidate the incidence and determinants of HBeAg and HBV DNA seroclearance in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
