Low-level hepatitis B surface antigen by ECLIA stratifies early relapse risk in patients with interferon-based HBV functional cure [PDF]
BackgroundCurrent definitions of functional cure in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) rely on conventional assays of HBsAg tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA-HBsAg), which may misclassify patients with low-level residual antigenemia as cured ...
