Determination of reactivation rate and risk factors for Hepatitis B virus reactivation in low-positive cases: A retrospective cohort study

Introduction In quantitative assays for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, although the amplification reaction signal is detected for low-positive cases, quantification remains challenging. HBV reactivation has been reported in many studies, but only a few have focused on HBV low-positive cases. This study aimed to determine the reactivation rate and risk factors for HBV reactivation in low-positive cases. Methods In this retrospective cohort study,...
