Abstract

TT virus(TTV) was recently reported as candidate for a new hepatitis virus from post transfusion hepatitis of unknown etiology. In the present study, influence of TTV superinfection on acute hepatitis B was analyzed. TTV DNA was detected in sera from 10 of 44(23%) patients with acute hepatitis B, but prevalence was comparable with normal blood donor. It was unlikely that TTV superinfection affected clinical course of acute hepatitis B. In cases of TTV superinfection on hepatitis B, T. Bil and ALT values were higher than in cases of non-superinfected patients. Furthermore, HCC was appearanced in a patient of recover from acute hepatitis B.
