I have been diagnosed to be a chronic carrier of hepB virus. All other antigen test results are positive. I have taken some medication. The next time I hed a test with Hbe antigen, it turned out to be negative. Is this possible with the other antigens to be positive? This means that all other tests for my antigen has positive results. Only my Hbe antigen is negative. I'm confused. What is the sequence of disappearance or seroconversion all the markers of hepatitis B?

If hBe antigen is negative, this is a good sign. It shows that the virus is not replicating.
Appearance-1. Hepatitis B viral DNA. 2.HbcAg. This cannot be detected in blood.
3. HBsAg.
4.HBeAg.
5. HBcAb.
On resolution- 1. HBeAb.
2. HBsAb. In the 'window period,' with early and incomplete resolution, both antigen and antibody may be found in blood. HBcAb is not protective. The others are.

Any antigen simply refers to a marker on a peticular pathogen. To placed it within the simplest method I can, its an identifier that antibodies (a immune approach molecule) could connect to in order that our immune approach cells recognise what to assault. It the case of Hep B, the HBsAg (middle) antigen is a floor identifier, which might or would possibly not have any position in any respect.
