  4. Course: Serology progression
    1. Stage 1: Immune Tolerant or Incubation Period
      1. Characteristics
        1. DNA replication very active in this stage
        2. Prolonged stage in newborns
        3. Asymptomatic (Serum Aminotransferases normal)
      2. Incubation (4-12 weeks)
      3. Late incubation (1-2 weeks)
        1. HBsAg Positive
    2. Stage 2: Immune Response
      1. Characteristics
        1. Immune response causes hepatic cell destruction
          1. Serum Aminotransferases increased
        2. High risk stage for Chronic Hepatitis B progression
        3. Symptom flares may occur if immunocompromised
        4. Conversion to Stage 3
          1. Occurs in most adults rapidly
          2. Others convert 5-15% per year
      2. Early Acute
        1. HBsAg Positive
        2. HBeAg Positive
      3. Acute (2-12 weeks)
        1. HBsAg Positive
        2. HBeAg Positive
        3. xHBc IgM Antibody Positive
        4. xHBc IgG Antibody Positive
      4. Acute and Seroconversion (transitions into Stage 3)
        1. HBsAg Positive
        2. xHBc IgM Antibody Positive
        3. xHBc IgG Antibody Positive
        4. xHBe IgG Antibody Positive
    3. Stage 3: Inactive carrier state (3-6 months)
      1. Characteristics
        1. Viral replication stops and transaminases normalize
        2. Possibly infectious and convalescent stage
        3. Conversion to Stage 4: 3% per year
      2. HBsAg Negative
      3. xHBc IgM Antibody Positive
      4. xHBc IgG Antibody Positive
      5. xHBe IgG Antibody Positive
    4. Stage 4: Immune and Early Recovery
      1. xHBc IgG Antibody Positive
      2. xHBe IgG Antibody Positive
      3. xHBs IgG Antibody Positive

Hepatitis B e Antigens (C0019167)

Definition (MSH) A closely related group of antigens found in the plasma only during the infective phase of hepatitis B or in virulent chronic hepatitis B, probably indicating active virus replication; there are three subtypes which may exist in a complex with immunoglobulins G.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigens (C0019168)

Definition (AIR) Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: a viral antigen of the hepatitis B virus detected by radioimmunoassay.
Definition (MSH) Those hepatitis B antigens found on the surface of the Dane particle and on the 20 nm spherical and tubular particles. Several subspecificities of the surface antigen are known. These were formerly called the Australia antigen.
Definition (NCI) Any one of the hepatitis B antigens found on the surface of the Dane particle and on the 20 nm spherical and tubular particles. Several subspecificities of the surface antigen are known. These were formerly called the Australia antigen.
