患者的B肝檢查結果如下：HBsAg(+)，Anti-HBsAb(+)，HBV DNA：undetectable，這樣要當作有無B肝感染否？
----
先說結論：當作B肝患者隔離。

會員們提供的佐證參考資料相當有價值，因此特別記錄下來

50歲的女性患者要開primary hyperparathyroidism，術前檢查發現如下：
Results of our patient's hepatitis B testing
| Test* | HBsAg** | S/CO*** Ratio | Neutralization Test Result | HBcAb | HBeAg | HBeAb | HBsAb | HBV DNA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | positive | 3.13 (average 3.07) | non-confirmable | negative | not detected | |||
| 2 | positive | 9.24 | no confirmation necessary | |||||
| 3 | positive | 9.70 | no confirmation necessary | |||||
作者認為可能原因是：Therefore, it is highly suspected that the patient's false positive HBsAg was due to heterophilic interference from a paraneoplastic syndrome related to her parathyroid adenoma.

What are the causes and outcomes of the coexistence of HBsAg and anti-HBs?

可能原因：
1. mutations in S gene region, particularly in the ‘a’ determinant.
2. the presence of heterologous subtype-specific antibodies,
3. superinfection with a new (second) hepatitis B virus (HBV) strain,
4. occult HBV reactivation
5. false positivity for anti-HBs (False positivity for anti-HBs may be caused by glycoproteins such as pili fractions isolated from Neiserria gonorrhoeae and Escherichia coli.)

The Interpretation of Diagnostic Blood Tests for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)

# HBV DNA - • May be NOT DETECTED in blood but DETECTABLE in the liver
# Phases of HBV infection: Phase 3: inactive-phase
HBsAg loss and seroconversion to HBsAb may occur spontaneously in ~1.5% of cases per year, usually following several years of undetectable HBV DNA. Patients remain infectious but at a lower level.

患者的B型肝炎表面抗原消失，但是體內還有具有複製能力的cccDNA存在的情況，被稱為功能性治癒、而非完全治癒。當他們因病情需要接受很強的免疫抑制劑或化療時，比如淋巴癌患者接受化療及莫須瘤（rituximab）治療時，會清除體內大部分的B細胞，統計約有10～15%的人可能因此導致B肝復發，嚴重者甚至出現猛爆型肝炎。因此，這類功能性治癒的B肝患者，雖然血液檢驗看起來不是帶原者，但是當免疫力被抑制時，cccDNA就會再度活化，讓B肝病毒又被製造出來。

目前專家意見： B肝分區依據宜以 HBsAg 為準
B肝病毒會嵌入肝細胞核之染色體中，即使血中測不到病毒，日後也可能伺機而動。而C肝病毒是在細胞質、不會進入細胞核中，故容易消滅。
