Hepatitis B Virus can cause severe illness, leading the cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. The HBsAg screen is used to help detect and diagnose HBV infection in patients and the blood supply. What is HBsAg? At first, 'HBsAg' looks like a bunch of random, meaningless letters. Let's break...
2008. Multicenter study of a new fully automated HBsAg screen- ing assay with enhanced sensitivity for the detection of HBV mutants. Med. Microbiol. Immunol. 197:55-64.Muhlbacher A, Weber B, Burgisser P, Eiras A, Cabrera J, Louisirirotchanakul S, Tiller FW, Kim HS, v Helden J, ...
In order to further improve blood safety, mini-pool (MP) nucleic acid testing (NAT) was implemented to screen samples negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), syphilis (anti-Treponemal antibody) and with...
Of the 718 samples tested, 120 were positive for HBsAg by Microscreen(TM) ELISA and 132 were positive by Hepanostika HBsAg ultra(TM). Of the 12 discordant samples, HBV DNA was detected in five samples indicating 0.7% prevalence of mutants. Hepatitis B is prevalent in liver disease patients...
For adolescents and adults, especially those at a high risk of HBV infection (injection drug users and individuals who participate in high-risk sexual behaviors), we suggest to screen them for both HBsAg and anti-HBs periodically. If the anti-HBs titer is below the protective level, a ...

No cases of HIV were observed in this study.Conclusions: Although the frequencies of hepatitis B and C infections found in this study were small, it still seems logical from the statistical analysis to screen for both viruses as well as for HIV, while a future study using a larger sample ...
2. Current Screening Techniques Blood tests can detect viral antigens, antibodies, or viral RNA/DNA, and are commonly used to screen for HIV, HBsAg, and HCV.The specific strategies for early detection are: Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) identify HIV antibodies in blood or oral flu...
