Frequency of hepatitis B surface antigen variants (HBsAg) in hepatitis B virus genotype B and C infected East- and Southeast Asian patients: Detection by the Elecsys ® HBsAg II assay
2018
Journal of Clinical Virology
To avoid false negative results, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) assays need to detect samples with mutations in the immunodominant 'a' determinant region, which vary by ethnographic region. Objective: We evaluated the prevalence and type of HBsAg mutations in a hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected Eastand Southeast Asian population, and the diagnostic performance of the Elecsys ® HBsAg II Qualitative assay. Study design: We analyzed 898 samples from patients with HBV infection from four sites
