Hepatitis B Virus Full Panel Test?

Patient's question:

Hepatitis B surface antigen: Positive, Hepatitis B surface antibody: Positive, Hepatitis B E antigen: Negative, Hepatitis B E antibody: Positive, Hepatitis B core antibody: Positive

Doctor's answer:

This is a hepatitis B two-item test, indicating a minor triple-positive result, suggesting a tendency towards complete recovery from acute HBV infection, making you a chronic HBV carrier with low infectivity. The second item cannot be positive in a minor triple-positive result. A positive hepatitis B surface antibody indicates the presence of antibodies, which means you would never develop a minor triple-positive result. It's either a mistake in your observation or an error in the test. It's best to get it retested.
Regarding the question: When patients face hepatitis interference, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical attention. If hepatitis is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
