ABSTRACT
This cases-control study comprise 70patients with chronic liver disease [CLD] compared to 30 matched controls. When the patients hepatitis B virus [HBV] serological markers and serum aminotransferases results computed with their histhopathological findings, a new presentation was emerged. This included forms where HBV runs its typical course [13.61%] and another more prevalent one where HBV turn into atypical form [40.9%]. Explanation of such observation includes a role of undetectable variant in HBV-HBeAg negative patients due to mutation of HBV in response to immunological stress by schistosomiasis and probably other causes in this Mediterranaen area
