Is a positive hepatitis B core antibody indicative of infection?

Patient's question:

The 2017 health check report shows positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core antigen. Is it an infection?

Doctor's answer:

The blood contains almost the same hepatitis B core antigen. If you are referring to a positive hepatitis B surface antigen and core antibody, it can definitely indicate a hepatitis B virus infection, and further liver function tests are needed. If liver function is abnormal, standardized treatment is required. If liver function is normal, periodic retesting is necessary. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. We hope hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
