Most test can turn up false postives. That has a low chance of happening though
One someone has hepatitis b the vaccine for them is of no use True or false?
Reference ranges for the antigen/antibody tests are as follows: hepatitis A antibody, IgM: Negative, hepatitis B core antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e-antigen: Negative.
No.
Liver biopsy can be done to examine liver tissue for potential damage and use it to diagnose Hepatitis B. However, specific blood tests can also be used to diagnose Hepatitis B.
There are several tests for hepatitis B which mean different things if positive (reactive). If it is the surface antigen (sAg') then it means that you have either been exposed to the infection or had the shots. If the former whether you still have the infection depends on the results of other tests.
All types of hepatitis are diagnosed with a blood test.The hepatitis virus panel is a series of blood tests used to detect current or past infection by hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. It can screen blood samples for more than one kind of hepatitis virus at the same time.Antibody and antigen tests can detect each of the different hepatitis viruses.Note: Hepatitis D only causes disease in people who also have hepatitis B. It is not routinely checked on a hepatitis antibody panel. http://www.std-gov.org/stds/hepatitis.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003558.htm
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
There is no harm or benefit from giving hepatitis B vaccine to someone with hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious viral diseases in the world, infecting approximately two billion people worldwide. It is a virus that infects the liver. Hepatitis B infections are either acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis B can last from a few weeks to a few months. Most people with acute infection will fully recover and not have any lasting health problems. Chronic Hepatitis B is more serious. A person with chronic hepatitis B may have the disease for life. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to more serious liver disease, including liver cancer.
Hepatitis is inflammation in the liver caused by the virus hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B and C may be treated using immunoglobulin that was created in the laboratory.
