hey guys-------

in acute hepatitis ,findings are HepB S Ag+,HepBCAg+,Hep.bVDNA+, with IgM against Hep.bC.

in window period only the IgM against HbC is +.

Can we ,as doctors, order just IgM serotyping to know whether patient has acute Hep.b.???and leaving rest of the crap-----rolling eyes

no cause hepatitis b acute infection is in the first 6 months

more than that is chronic

in the first month of acute infection no IGM only surface antigen is present

so in the first month u have to rely on surface antigen
