Abstract :
Objectives: To evaluate the significance of detecting anti Hepatitis B core antigen in screening of Hepatitis B viral infection. Patients, materials and methods: A study was conducted in 2013 at Baghdad Teaching Hospital/ Medical City on 823 patients and 50 healthy individuals using Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent assay to detect Hepatitis B surface antigen and Hepatitis B core IgM.. Results: Hepatitis B surface antigen was detected in 2.9% among the examined patients, Hepatitis B core IgM antibody was detected in 1.5%, 4 (16%) patients were positive for both at the same time. Conclusion: The combined use of Hepatitis B surface antigen test and Hepatitis B core IgM test is more reliable as serological markers for detecting Hepatitis B viral infection than the use of Hepatitis B core IgM test alone.
