摘要
The serological diagnosis of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after recent exposure has been established by the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis B core IgM antibody (anti-HBcIgM) detection in serum, sometimes accompanied by the detection of hepatitis B "e" antigen (HBeAg). Despite this characteristic serological profile, misdiagnosis can occur in cases of unexpected or atypical behavior of the serological markers in the bloodstream, or if the true meaning of its expression is not properly investigated, or even if there is a possibility of interference from factors not necessarily linked to the infectious process, in the detection of these markers. This review discusses the influence of these variables on laboratory results for these two serological markers and, therefore, the potential risk of these variables compromising the correct diagnosis of acute infection after recent HBV exposure.
