The stereological values of the structural density of hepatocyte cytoplasmic organelles were similar in chronic mixed HCV + HBV infection irrespective of the form of HBV infection (seropositive or latent). High incidence of HBsAg- and HBeAg-negative forms of HBV infection determines the leading role of PCR diagnosis and studies of liver biopsy specimens with detection of HBcAg structural markers and HBV DNA in native liver tissue in the diagnosis of mixed HCV + HBV infection.
