to be controlled for in comparing immunoprophylactic approaches. At present, DNA polymerase activity or HBV DNA is useful for estimating the level of exposure. In an editorial in this issue, Dr. Dienstag pointed out difficulties in comparing the results of two immunoprophylactic regimens conducted at different times (1). Because of the absence of any adverse effects of simultaneous injections of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and hepatitis B vaccine, the merit of passive-active immunoprophylaxis after the exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV) is indisputable. In this situation, a placebo-controlled double-blind therapeutic trial for evaluating the efficacy of passive-active immunization vs. passive im-
