Abstract
Unlike traditional changing patterns, the clearance of HBV DNA in peripheral circulation for a few patients with AHB occurred later than HBsAg clearance. Detection of HBV DNA in peripheral circulation by highly sensitive detection technology could provide a diagnostic basis for those AHB patients who rapidly achieved HBsAg clearance before achieving HBV DNA clearance in their peripheral circulation and prevent misdiagnosis. Dynamic monitoring of the changes in HBsAg levels through highly sensitive detection technology could be used as a guide for the timely adoption of antiviral treatment with interferon and then AHB chronicity would be prevented.
