The easiest way to remember the signfiicance of each of these serologic markers is with the words in teh second column. HBcAb indicates that a patient has been EXPOSED to hepatitis B. HBsAg indicates that a patient has been INFECTED with Hep B. And HBsAb indicates that a person is IMMUNE to HepB.
So, using these three terms, it’s easy to fill out the rest of the chart.
In an acute infection, a person has been exposed (that’s how they got infected) and they’re obviously infected. They are not immune -- they still have the infection. This actue infection phase is indicated in the table below.. The person just got infected, and the body responds by making the core Ab that it will keep forever, and there is still viral antigen around .

If I already have HBsAB 10 years ago, can I still be a chronic carrier or antigen and antibodies itself is mutually exclusive?

What happens to Inactive Chronic carriers in the long run?  Will they eventually develop a positive HBsAb, if so, how long?

[varunchavan]
