Further study on clinical significance of hepatitis B virus core antibody / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyse clinical application of hepatitis B virus core antibody(HBcAb)detected by using the chemilu-minescence microparticle immunoassay.Methods A total of 1 6 830 specimen with positive HBcAb detected by using the two pairs of semi-hepatitis test from January 2012 to November 2014 were collected,and divided into three groups according to the cut off in-dex(COI)of detection results of HBcAb,including group 1.0-0.05).The detec-tion rate of HBsAg(+)HBsAb(-)of group 9.0-<1 1.0 was significantly lower than that of the other two groups(P <0.05).A total of 304 specimen were HBsAg(-)HBsAb(-)and COI≥1 1,among them 64 specimen were HBV DNA postive and the posi-tive rate was 21.0%.Conclusion In the detection of HBcAb,COI≥1 1 and 1.0-<9.0 could be reference indicators for diagnosiing current and past HBV infection respectively,which should be combined with other laboratory indicators of HBV clinical data for comprehensive analysis.
