Anti‐viral therapy can be delayed or avoided in a significant proportion of <scp>HB</scp>eAg‐negative Caucasian patients in the Grey Zone

Abstract

Most Caucasian GZ patients present excellent long-term outcomes in the absence of treatment, with a high rate of HBsAg loss and low rate of progression to HBeAg-negative CHB. HBV-genotyping and HBsAg levels could help to predict outcomes and better classify GZ patients.
