Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported an error in the “Abstract”, under the “Methods” section. The sentence “inactive chronic hepatitis B(ICH,n = 58) and HBeAg-negative immune reactive hepatitis (ENH,n = 77)” should be change to “inactive chronic hepatitis B(ICH,n = 77) and HBeAg-negative immune reactive hepatitis (ENH,n = 58).”
