Abstract: Objective To investigate the prevalent viral genotypes and possible gene mutation in adults with acute hepatitis B(AHB). Methods Serum samples of 39 patients with AHB admitted in our hospital were collected between December 2012 and January 2014. Viral genotypes and sequences of P region,S region,Pre C region and basic core promoter(BCP) were detected by direct sequencing and parallel allele specific sequencing (PASS). Results 35 out of 39 patients with AHB were sequenced successfully. Genotype distribution in these 35 cases was as follows. Genotype B accounted for 36.4% (12/35),genotype C for 57.6% (21/35),and genotype D for 6.0%(2/35);A181S drug resistance mutation was found in one patient by both sequencing methods,while S132F and W172C mutations in S region as well as G1896A and T1758C mutations in PreC/BCP regions were noticed by direct sequencing in two different cases,respectively. Conclusions Viral genotype distribution of common genotype C and B in patients with AHB is not different in patients with CHB. Patients infected with P region,S region or PreC/BCP region mutants might have similar prognosis as patients infected with wild HBV.
