## Abstract Because of widely differing reports on the significance of IgM antiโHBc in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, paired sera and liver biopsies from 49 patients with chronic HBV infection were analysed for serum IgM antiโHBc, HBsAg titre, HBeAgiantiโHBe, HBV DNA, serum aspartate tr
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
