Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find alternative laboratory parameters to differentiate between acute hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis B with an acute flare, particularly in regions where HBV infection is common.
- Significant differences were observed in clinical and laboratory findings between patients with acute self-limited hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis B, notably in the levels of HBV-DNA, HBeAg, and alpha-fetoprotein.
- Combining IgM anti-HBc with other markers like HBV-DNA and HBeAg enhanced diagnostic accuracy, achieving a high predictive value for diagnosing acute self-limited hepatitis B.
