Histological responses of peginterferon alpha add-on therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B with advanced liver fibrosis after long-term nucleos(t)ide analog treatment.

abstract：:The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Union Territory of India, are home to six primitive tribes. Studies carried out earlier among these tribes revealed very high rates of hepatitis B infection. We have now studied hepatitis A and E infection among them. A total of 951 serum samples were collected from four accessible tri...
