If a patient is Hepatitis A IgM Negative and IgG Positive. What
can you tell me about this patients exposure and Hepatitis
status? - correct answer-This indicates past exposure to
Hepatitis A virus and an immunity to the virus (The patient is not
currently infected)
If a patient is Hepatitis A IgM negative and IgG negative. What
can you tell me about this patients exposure and Hepatitis
status? - correct answer-The patient has not exposure and no
immunity against it
If a patient is HBAg surface Negative and HBAb surface core
Positive. What can you tell me about this patients exposure and
Hepatitis status? - correct answer-This indicates that the patient
has been exposed to Hepatitis B and immune but is not
currently infectious. The presence of HBAb surface and core
antibodies suggest prior infection and IMMUNITY
,If a patient is HBAg surface negative, HBA core negative and
HBAb surface positive. What can you tell me about this patients
exposure and Hepatitis status? - correct answer-Immunity due
to previous vaccination or resolved infection, not currently
infected no chronic HBV
If a patient is HBAg surface positive, HBIgG core positive and
HBAb surfaces negative. What can you tell me about this
patients exposure and Hepatitis status? - correct answer-This
indicates active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection due to the
presence of the positive HBAg pos and HBIgG core antibodies
but the absence of HBAb surface antibodies suggests the
patient has not built immunity
If a patient is Anti-HCV Positive and HCV PCR Positive. What
can you tell me about this patients exposure and Hepatitis
status? - correct answer-This indicates active Hepatitis C virus
(HCV) infection, the presence for Anti- HCV IgG antibodies
confirms exposure to HCV, while the detection of HCV RNA
confirms active viral replication in the patients blood
How long does it take for Hepatitis D to incubate? - correct
answer-1-6 months
, How long does it take Hepatitis E to incubate? - correct answer-
15 days to 2 months
This phase of hepatitis manifestation occurs 2 weeks after
exposure and precedes the appearance of jaundice, likelihood
