Immune suppression as the etiology of failure to detect anti-HBc antibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

V Avettand-Fenoel1, D Thabut, C Katlama, T Poynard, V Thibault.   

Abstract

A lack of anti-HBc antibodies during chronic hepatitis B virus infection is a serological pattern that is rarely observed. In our series of 39 patients with such a confirmed profile, mutations within the precore/core gene were rarely found and the lack of antibody detection was mostly explained by concurrent immunosuppression and the low sensitivities of the serological assays.
