Viral load according to the different genotypes of the mannose-binding lectin gene. (a): HBV DNA × inflammatory activity, (b): HBV DNA × fibrosis score, (c): HCV RNA × inflammatory activity, and (d): HCV RNA × fibrosis score. HBV: hepatitis B virus and HCV: hepatitis C virus. Inflammatory activity (0 to 1: no inflammation and mild levels and 2 to 3: moderate and high levels) and fibrosis score (0 to 2: mild and moderate and 3 to 4: severe and cirrhosis) Metavir.
