FIG. 2.

Point plots of log₁₀ HBV DNA levels at various time points among patients in group I (a) and group II (b). Each plot represents the log₁₀ HBV DNA level of a patient at a particular time point. (a) Times: P1, initial visit when HBeAg was positive; C, time of HBeAg seroconversion; N2, last visit for patients who had sustained HBeAg seroconversion; R, HBeAg reversion. (b) Times: N1, initial visit; N2, last visit for patients who had sustained negative HBeAg; R, HBeAg reversion. +, positive; −, negative.
