It is observed with great frequency in immunosuppressed patients with chronic hepatitis. A good An anti-HBc is important in the identification of HBV-infected individuals who are negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), but are positive for anti-HBc, in an effort to prevent the contamination of blood transfusion products with HBV. |
