The HBeAg-negative group had a frequent occurrence of BCP/PC variants, which may have contributed to the lack of correlation observed. Samples with a low HBsAg level, which is associated with a low risk of MTCT, do not require HBV DNA measurement. ## Keywords - Viral load - Chronic hepatitis - Virology - Medicine - Hepatitis B - Viral hepatitis - Immunology - Antigen - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - Virus --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
