چکیده
Background The clinical outcome of HBV infection is highly heterogeneous which correlates with viral factors such as genotypes, viremia and mutants. Evidences showed that HBV genotypes have a role in prevalence of variants, IFN therapy and disease severity. So far, 10 HBV genotypes (A to J) have been identified with distinct geographical distribution. Hence, knowledge of the genotype infecting an individual may assist a physician making a decision towards better clinical management. The aim of this study is to identify the circulating HBV genotypes (A e) and its correlation with clinical manifestation.
