title: [A 23-year-old asymptomatic HBsAg positive woman].
abstract: This paper discusses the case of a young 23-year-old asymptomatic HBsAg woman, diagnosed in the immune-tolerance phase of HBV infection. The monitoring shows the loss of tolerance and eventually the transition to the inactive carrier state. Management strategies are discussed for each phase according to the recent EASL guidelines.
