IgM anti-HBc was measured by radioimmunoassay in se~rially collected serum samples during 20 acute exacerbations which developed in 14 patients with anti-HBe paeitive chronic type B hepatitis. IgM anti-HBc became @the in 12 of the 14 (86%) patients and in 18 of the 20 (90%) exacerbations, and elevat
The diagnostic significance of IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) in healthy hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers and in subjects affected by chronic hepatitis B was evaluated. IgM anti-HBc was sought and found in all nine patients examined who were affected by acute HB
A consecutive group of 169 patients with acute hepatitis found negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and negative for IgM antibody against hepatitis A (anti-HAV IgM) was studied for presence of IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc IgM) by ELISA. Anti-HBc IgM was found i
