Abstract:

Objective To understand the distribution of genotypes in Tongling area to analyze the relationship of different genotypes with liver function damage virus  replication and serum markers and to investigate the clinical significance of different genotypes. Methods Polymerase chain reactionPCR-reverse dot blot RDB was used to determine hepatitis B virusHBV genotypes HBV load serum markers of hepatitis B and liver function among 228 patients infected with HBV in Tongling area. The correlation analysis was performed with other parameters. Results In 228 serum samples 226 samples were successfully genotyped including 54.4% B type124/228), 37.3% C type85/228 and 7.5% B/C hybrid type17/228), and 2 cases0.09% were not detected. Differences between different HBV genotypes and age e antigenHBeAg), anti-e antigen antibodyanti-HBe and liver function had no statistical significanceP0.05. The C type HBV load was significantly higher than those of B type and B/C hubrid typeP0.01. Conclusions The distribution of HBV genotypes in Tongling area is dominated by B type followed by C type and a small amount of B/C hybrid type. C type infected patients′ HBV load is significantly higher than that of B type. The liver damage of patients with C type is more serious than that of B type which prompts that HBV genotypes may influence on in vivo HBV replication and may cause chronic liver disease of different clinical types.
