“Ham muốn khám phá, sự nghiêm túc, quảng đại, và nhìn xa trông rộng là các phẩm chất của một thái độ đúng đắn cố hữu gắn với khoa học, điều mà chúng ta, các nhà khoa học, phải tận tâm cam kết"
GS. Pierre Darriulat
Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is common; worldwide, an estimated 10% of HIV-infected persons have chronic hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, and of its long-term complications. It is the most variable among DNA viruses, mostly because of its unique life cycle which includes the activity of error-prone enzyme, reverse transcriptase, and the very high virion production per day.
Worldwide, two billion people have been infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), 360 million have chronic infection, and 600,000 die each year from HBV-related liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma.
