CONT

Hépatite à virus B. [...] Trois marqueurs sont détectables en cas de guérison : l'anticorps anti-HBs (Ac antiHBs), l'anticorps anti-HBe (Ac-anti-HBe) et l'anticorps anti-HBc (Ac anti-HBc). L'anticorps anti-HBc est donc présent aussi bien en cas d'infection que de guérison; cet anticorps est de classe IgM en cas d'infection récente et de classe IgG en cas de guérison.

CONT

Hépatite aiguë à virus B. [...] Ces symptômes sont dus à des complexes immuns circulants constitués d'antigène HBs, d'anticorps anti-HBs et de complément.
