title: [Diagnostic and prognostic significance of anti-HBCAG IgM in hepatitis B and its outcomes].
abstract: Enzyme immunoassay was employed to investigate HBV markers (HBsAg, HBeAg, IgM anti-HBc, anti-HBc, anti-HBs) in 126 patients suffering from viral hepatitis B. It was noted that IgM anti-HBc appeared in ++pre-jaundice period in 100% of the examinees. In case of hepatitis transformation into a chronic form the titers of IgM anti-HBc depended on the disease activity, their high concentration being typical for the stage of active virus replication.
