T- and B-cell responses and previous exposure to hepatitis B virus in ‘anti-HBc alone’ patients [PDF]

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2015
A serologic response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) defined as 'anti-HBc alone' is commonly observed, but its significance remains unclear. This study aimed to define the relationship between 'anti-HBc alone' serostatus and HBV infection, including HBV ...

Significance of anti-HBc alone serological status in clinical practice [PDF]

The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2017
Serum samples identified as positive for total anti-HBc, but negative for both HBsAg and anti-HBs, are referred to as anti-HBc alone. This serological response is compatible with acute, resolved, and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection but might ...

Serological pattern “anti-HBc alone”: Report on a workshop

Journal of Medical Virology, 2000
In areas with low hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemicity such as most parts of Europe and the United States anti-HBc alone is found in 10-20% of all individuals with HBV markers, i.e., 1-4% of the population.

Presence of low levels of anti-HBs antibody in so-called ‘anti-HBc alone’ subjects

Liver, 2001
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The 'anti-Hbc alone' pattern could sometimes be that of subjects who produced anti-HBs after recovery, but at a lower level than that detectable using commercial assays. This study aimed to test this hypothesis.

Detection of HBs antigen in “anti-HBc alone” positive sera

Journal of Hepatology, 1994
The immunoserological finding "anti-HBc alone" is often observed in defined groups of individuals, such as patients with inflammatory hepatopathies, patients on hemodialyses or with organ transplants, i.v.

Can the serological status of “anti-HBc alone” be considered a sentinel marker for detection of “occult” HBV infection?

Journal of Medical Virology, 2008
Some individuals have "occult" infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), defined as presence of HBV genome in the serum or liver tissue without HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in the serum.

The prevalence of “anti-HBc alone” and HBV DNA detection among anti-HBc alone in Korea

Journal of Medical Virology, 2010
AbstractThe “anti‐HBc alone” is a frequent serological finding in clinical laboratories, making it difficult to determine whether the HBV infection has resolved. The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of anti‐HBc alone and HBV DNA detection (occult HBV infection) among anti‐HBc alone, and to describe the demographic and ...

The underlying mechanisms for the ‘anti-HBc alone’ serological profile

Archives of Virology, 2009
The serological pattern, "anti-HBc alone", characterized by the presence of antibodies against the core antigen of hepatitis B virus (anti-HBc) as the only marker of hepatitis B, is not rare in a diagnostic setting. Depending on the prevalence of HBV infection and the patient group investigated, 1-31% of positive anti-HBc results are isolated positive ...
