In the June 2011 issue of HEPATOLOGY, in the article entitled ''Clinical utility of hepatitis B surface antigen quantitation in patients with chronic hepatitis B: A review'' (volume 53, pages 2121-2129) the data in Tables 2 and3 are to be corrected as listed below: On page 2124, under the heading '
Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels may reflect the immunomodulatory efficacy of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN). We investigated within a large randomized trial whether quantitative HBsAg levels predict response to PEG-IFN in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic
## Serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen and IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen were tested in 15 patients who participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of a 28-day course of prednisolone therapy. During treatment, serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core anti
The course of chronic hepatitis B was studied in 30 patients who had antibody to hepatitis e antigen and hepatitis B virus DNA in the serum and hepatitis B core antigen in the liver. Over a 2-year period, no patient experienced a sustained spontaneous remission of disease, and follow-up liver histol
