there was a patient with hepatitis B virus infection, proved by PCR detection of the virus,,,after 6 months the patient repeated the test by PCR and the result was negative ( no detection of virus) I requested Hbs antibody test and the result was negative,,,,
I am asking if there is possibility of the virus to be eliminated without Hbs antibody?
Michael Hust
An elimination of the HBV without an antibody answer is very implausible.
The most plaussible answer would be, that the initial PCR result was false positive.
Best, Michael
