Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is defined by the detectable serum HBV-DNA in HBV surface antigen-negative patients. This retrospective study aims to evaluate therapeutic effects of combined pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) patients with concurrent occult HBV/hepatitis C (HCV) dual infection.In total, 126 consecutive chronic (CHC) who received PEG-IFN and RBV therapy were included. Patients divided into HBV/HCV group or HCV-monoinfected according whether not they...
