The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1973 Hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) detectable only by means of rvdioimmnnoassay was found in saliva of 5 out of 36 mentally retarded children in an institution. Electron microscopic study of purified antigen in saliva revealed the presence of tubular and small Dane particles.

Clinical performance of a new hepatitis B surface antigen quantitative assay with automatic dilution
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015 Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) levels reflect disease status and can predict the clinical response to antiviral treatment; however, the emergence of HBsAg mutant strains has become a challenge.

Hepatitis B antigen, hepatitis B antibody, and subtypes in leprosy [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1977 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 ...

Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B [PDF]
Hepatology, 2001 Summary HBeAg-negative CHB has now a worldwide distribution, developing in the course of HBeAg-positive chronic HBV infection during or after the phase of HBeAg loss and its seroconversion to anti-HBe. It is caused by replicating noncytopathic HBV mutants either unable to produce HBeAg (precore mutants) or with down-regulated transcription of the ...

Current diagnosis of occult or cryptic hepatitis B [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo), 2005 The present article presents a kind of hepatitis B in patients whodo not have the surface antigen (HbsAg) detectable in sera. It hasbeen described in different parts of the world and is known todayas “occult or criptic hepatitis B” and its importance has

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2018 Background: Scientists perceive drug users (DUs) as a high-risk population for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Effective strategies aiming at the reduction of HBV infection can be depicted when its epidemiological status is clearly defined.

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021 Background/Aims: The HBsAg levels have been used to monitor the chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment response to antiviral therapy. On the other hand, it is unclear if the HBsAg quantification levels at each treatment point differ according to the HBeAg ...
