Abstract Fulminant hepatitis has been shown to occur in about 1% of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, and its mortality rate is nearly 70%. Specific HBV genotypic features have been pointed out in fulminant acute hepatitis B worldwide, but these associations remain controversial. We describe all four primary HBV infections diagnosed in 2008 in our institution in Marseille, southeastern France, including two fatal cases. HBV genotypes were D or E. Precore G1896A HBV mutants were detected in both fatal fulminant primary HBV infections. Hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) were negative in two and three cases, respectively, despite HBV DNA detection. Primary HBV infection remains a cause of death in France. The impact of the precore G1896A mutation on the severity of AHB deserves to be assessed in larger studies in this country.

Mutation Information
Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
Literature Information
  • Sequence Data: The study provides the data accession number.
