Anti HBe
Sample: Serum
Schedule: Daily
Units:
Range: Negative
Remarks: Anti-HBe positive patients who have previously been HBeAg positive indicate a reduced risk of infectivity. If seroconvertion from HBeAg positive to anti-HBe positive does not occur this indicates disease activity and probable chronicity . Chronic HBsAg carriers can be either HBeAg positive or anti-HBe positive, but are less infectious if anti-HBe is positive. HBeAg positive can persist for years. See all changes of Hepatitis B markers at HBeAg test.
