    Snippet: According to other study from 1099 cases, around 23.7% of confirmed patients have at least one comorbidity(13). Among these pre-existing chronic diseases, abnormal liver function is one of most common features in COVID-19 patients and severe patients are more likely to have HBV infection. In our research, about one out of five (7/33, 21.8%) COVID-19 severe patients were found to coinfect with HBV infection. It has been suggested that liver impair.....
    Document: According to other study from 1099 cases, around 23.7% of confirmed patients have at least one comorbidity(13).

In our research, about one out of five (7/33, 21.8%) COVID-19 severe patients were found to coinfect with HBV infection. It has been suggested that liver impairment in COVID-19 patients could be due to the virus direct attack or resulted by other causes such as drug toxicity and systemic inflammation(18). To detect the viral RNA and viral particles from liver biopsies of COVID-19 patients will be helpful to elucidate if virus infect liver tissue.
