The prevalence of HBeAg in 60 cases HBsAg positive LC was 35.0%, anti-HBe was 41.7% and in 23.3% both markers were negative. Among 82 cases with HCC, the prevalence of HBsAg was 47.6%, anti-HBs was 25.6% and anti-HBc alone was 15.9%. The prevalence of HBeAg in 39 cases with HCC was 25.6%, anti-HBe was 51.3% and in 23.1% both markers were negative.
