Hepatitis B antigen, hepatitis B antibody, and subtypes in leprosy [PDF]
The prevalence of hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B antibody (HBsAb), and subtypes in 242 cases of leprosy is reported. Patients were divided into three subgroups, lepromatous (174), tuberculoid (55), and borderline (13). A total of 131 patients were tested on admission; the remaining 111 had been institutionalized for a period of 3 months or ...

Nuclear Expression of Hepatitis B Virus X Protein Is Associated with Recurrence of Early-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinomas: Role of Viral Protein in Tumor Recurrence [PDF]
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays well-known roles in tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in infected patients. However, HBV-associated protein status in tumor tissues and the relevance to tumor behavior has not been reported.

Positive HBs antigen in the absence of hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]
French recommendations for the screening of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection were updated in 2019 with the association of three markers: HBs Ag, anti-HBs Ab and anti-HBc Ab. These three markers allow identification of infected patients, vaccinated patients and patients who have been in contact with HBV. A positive HBs Ag is usually associated with HBV
