A 42-year-old woman IV drug user presents with vague symptoms of fatigue, aches,
pains, and nausea. Recently, she appeared jaundiced for a few days; however, she no
longer does. Preliminary blood tests indicate the patient does not have hepatitis B.
However, the tests could be wrong, as she may be in the window period. If she were in
the window period, what would be the only evidence of hepatitis B infection?
Answer Choices
1 Anti-HBc
2 HBsAg
3 HBcAg
4 HBeAg
5 Anti-HBs - CORRECT ANSWER: Explanation
Hepatitis B is transmitted by exposure to blood or blood products. If she shared needles
as an IV drug user, she has put herself at risk of infection with hepatitis B.
, The window is the period in which HBsAg (HBV surface antigen) is not detectable and
anti-HBs (antibody to HBV surface antigen) has yet to appear. During the window period
of a hepatitis B infection, the only marker present would be IgM anti-HBc (antibody to
HBV core antigen). Because of this, the window period is also referred to as the core
window. This IgM antibody is present in the early convalescence period (2 - 16 weeks
after infection). It is an expensive test and is ordered only when there is very high
suspicion. Positivity of this antibody, along with HbsAg, indicates acute infection. PCR
test for genome identification is the other test useful during the window period.
HBsAg (HBV surface antigen) is the 1st serological marker to appear in hepatitis B
infection. After HBsAg is cleared from the serum, the patient is in the window period.
HBeAg (HBV 'e' antigen) can be seen with acute hepatitis. It is a marker for infectivity.
HBcAg is the HBV core antigen.
Anti-HBs (antibody to HBV surface antigen) is seen at the end of an infection. The
appearance of anti-HBs marks the end of the window period. The presence of anti-HBs
gives a patient immunity.
A 45 year-old female patient has a screening TSH performed. Her TSH value is 13
mU/L. It was repeated in one week and found to be 15 mU/L. What explains this
finding? - CORRECT ANSWER: This patient has hypothyroidism because her TSH
exceeds 5 mU/L.
A characteristic finding is the "herald" or "mother" patch found on trunk. This looks like a
