Comparative analysis of the clinical characteristics associated with chronic versus occult HBV infection in HIV-positive patients.

<p>(A) CD4 T-cell count, (B) ALT, and (C) HBV DNA titres are represented as box and whisker plots for both infection groups. The box represents the 25% to 75% inter-quartile (IQR) range, with a line at the median value, while the whiskers represent the lowest and the highest values. The CD4 status, ALT, and AST levels were significantly elevated among the chronic compared to the occult patients.
