Circulating nucleic acids in serum and plasma are common in a variety of disease conditions. Here, we focus (i) on our approach for the detection of various hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related nucleic acids in liver tissue and in serum, (ii) on the progression of the chronic HBV infection, (iii) on the relation of HBV-specific nucleic acids circulating in the blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and in general (iv) on the diagnostic potential of circulating HBV nucleic acids.
