HBeAg﹑ositive chronic infection, formerly referred to as the immune tolerant (IT) phase, is classically characterized by high‐titer viremia, normal alanine aminotransferase levels, and absence or minimal inflammation/fibrosis on liver biopsy. Patients can remain in this disease phase for several ...
(1) if the hepatitis B surface antibody positive antibody titer is >10, showed that the protective antibody is enough, can to some extent in the prevention of hepatitis B virus attacks, without injection of hepatitis B vaccine to strengthen the needle, after check regularly. (2) if the ...
It is an important marker that might not only indicate active hepatitis B infection, but may also predict clinical and treatment outcomes. Assays for HBsAg quantification are fully automated with a high output capacity. HBsAg titer is higher in HBe antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B ...
In addition, seven individuals positive only for anti-hepatitis B core antigen (blocking greater than 70% in the test) and 39 positive only for anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (with a titer of greater than or equal to 10 international units/liter) were believed to have been exposed to ...
Hepatitis B core antibody(anti-HBc) indicates infection from the naturalHBV. The HBVvaccinationonly containsHBsAg. It does not contain core components of the virus. Therefore, the anti-HBc is only positive in patients who have been exposed to naturally occurring HBV. It becomes positive following...
recommended for persons whose subsequent clinical management depends on knowledge of their immune status, including certain health care and public safety workers; chronic hemodialysis patients, HIV-infected persons, and other immunocompromised persons; and sex or needle-sharing partners of HBsAg-positive ...
Four were confirmed as HBsAg-positive, with a 1.59% (4/252) HBV vertical infection rate. All the mothers of neonates who had an HBV vertical infection were hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive. Among the HBsAg-positive neonates, three were HBeAg-positive and had an HBV DNA titer of ...
positive rate of HBcAb was higher in females than in males as well as higher in students aged ≥10 years than in ones aged 3- 10 years(both P 0.05).The older the children and adolescents,the lower the HBsAb positive rate(P 0.01).The antibody titer of most students with positive HBsAb(...
All received intramuscular recombinant hepatitis B vaccination at 0, 1, 2, and 6 months 20 μg on each deltoid muscle bilateral. Anti-HBs antibody titers were measured at 4 and 7 months of vaccination and the titer ≥10 mIU/mL was considered as "positive". Vitamin D levels were...
