title: [Possibilities of indication of anti-Hb core IGM in the saliva of patients with hepatitis B].
abstract: A method for measurements of anti-HBcore IgM in the saliva has been developed. The levels of anti-HBcore IgM in the blood sera and saliva were compared in 62 patients with acute viral hepatitis B. The results of anti-HBcore IgM indication in samples of blood serum and saliva completely coincided, this permitting us to recommend assays of this parameter in the saliva when examining patients with hepatitis B, in order to reduce the number of blood collections.
