In this retrospective study, we expanded the sample size and aimed to evaluate the influence of SARS-CoV-2/HBV co-infection on the clinical characteristics including liver function and disease outcome. Taken into consideration that viral co-infection can exacerbate liver injury thus have a big impact on disease progression and outcome 11, 12 , we investigated the prevalence of HBV infection in COVID-19 patients and found that there was a comparable rate of SARS-CoV-2/HBV co-infection to that of general population (6.1% vs 6%). Taken together, our study is the first to elaborate on the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2/HBV co-infection patients and demonstrate that the coinfection with HBV slightly affect liver function, showing no impact on the COVID-19 outcome. ./cache/cord-350393-j80k2v21.txt ./txt/cord-350393-j80k2v21.txt
