摘要

Most research in sub-Saharan Africa establishes hepatitis B infection via one-time hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing. Of 237 HIV-infected patients from two clinical trials testing HBsAg positive (MiniVidas®), 206 (86.9%) had validated serological tests using another assay (Architect). Discrepancies could be due to inactive infection, highlighting the importance of assessing hepatitis B virus infection phase.
