Fig. 1From: Chronic hepatitis B carriers with acute on chronic liver failure show increased HBV surface gene mutations, including immune escape variantsFrequency of HBV immune escape (IE) and drug resistance (DR) mutations in plasma of NA-treatment naïve CHB patients with (N = X) or without ACLF (N = X). a The incidence of minor IE mutations was higher in NA-treatment naïve ACLF-CHB patients than in treatment naïve CHB patients of different immune phases. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001. b Minor DR mutations were present in patients of all different groups. No significant difference of DR incidence was found between groupsBack to article page
