To understand this issue, the qAnti-HBc levels were evaluated in individuals with past HBV infection, occult HBV infection and chronic HBV infection in the immune tolerance phase, immune clearance phase, low-replicative phase and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative hepatitis phase. Individuals with hepatitis B surface antigen (n=598, 3.74±0.90 log10 IU/mL) had significantly higher (p<0.001, approximately 1000-fold) serum qAnti-HBc levels than those who had occult HBV, and serum qAnti-HBc levels were significantly higher in the occult HBV group than in the past HBV infection group (p<0.001). qAnti-HBc levels were positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase levels (R=0.663, p<0.001), and subjects with an abnormal alanine aminotransferase level had a higher qAnti-HBc level (p<0.001). Serum qAnti-HBc level varied in different phases of HBV infection, as determined by host immune status. Serum qAnti-HBc level is strongly associated with hepatitis activity in subjects with chronic HBV infection. ? 2014 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. |
