Significance of anti-HBc alone serological status in clinical practice [PDF]
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 also signify occult HBV infection.

The prevalence of “anti‐HBc alone” and HBV DNA detection among anti‐HBc alone in Korea
Journal of Medical Virology, 2010AbstractThe “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 ...

Presence of low levels of anti-HBs antibody in so-called ‘anti-HBc alone’ subjects
Liver, 2001Abstract: 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. Methods: A total of 104 ‘anti‐HBc alone’ serum samples, i.e.positive for the anti‐HBc antibody but not for HBsAg ...

Serological pattern ?anti-HBc alone?: Report on a workshop
Journal of Medical Virology, 2000In 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. In about 10% of these individuals HBV DNA is detected by PCR, the proportions varying greatly depending on the population studied, being highest in

Detection of HBs antigen in “anti-HBc alone” positive sera
Journal of Hepatology, 1994The 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. drug users and homosexuals, but it also occurs in up to 1% of Swiss blood-donors. In order to gain further information about whether "anti-HBc alone"

AbstractSome 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 aim of this study was to investigate whether serum antibodies against HBV core antigen in isolation (“anti‐HBc alone”) are a useful marker of “occult” HBV in ...

The underlying mechanisms for the ‘anti-HBc alone’ serological profile
Archives of Virology, 2009The 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 ...
