  1. Data are presented as median (interquartile range), n (%), or n/N (%), where N is the total number of cases with available data
  2. aData were unavailable in 1 patient because viral shedding discontinuation occurred on day 4
  3. bData were unavailable in 5 patients because viral shedding discontinuation occurred before day 10
  4. cData were unavailable in 1 patient because he did not clear the virus until death. The corresponding normal ranges and units of the liver function test parameters are presented in parentheses
