Hepatitis B: Update 2021

HBV Tests Part I:All patients need this “triple panel”when evaluating for HBV

 

HBsAg = infection (Test all patients for HDV)

Anti-HBc = exposure = cccDNA = persistence
- Eval for Occult HBV if HBsAg (-)
- Reactivation risk
- No vaccine boosting

Anti-HBs = immunity, if anti-HBc is negative

Note:
- HBV is incurable
- There is no “natural immunity”
