The diagnostic value of an anti-mu-capture immunoassay for the detection of IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) was evaluated. Strongly positive results were obtained from the acute phase sera of the 25 acute hepatitis B patients who were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) posi
## Abstract The โantiโHBc aloneโ is a frequent serological finding in clinical laboratories, making it difficult to determine whether the HBV infection has resolved. The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of antiโHBc alone and HBV DNA detection (occult HBV infection) among
To evaluate the clinical implication of IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc IgM), a consecutive series of 87 patients with acute type B hepatitis and 16 healthy carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were studied by a newly developed reverse ELISA technique. Anti-HBc Ig
