Although a variety of hepatitis B marker are available to discriminate different states of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, there is a serious need to detect HBV DNA itself.For this reason, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the most sensitive new technology, seems to be the best method.Indications for analysis of HBV DNA include early recognition of chronic hepatitis B, detection of HBV mutants, the study of interferon therapy results and many others.
