I mean Otan's  hbsag is <500iu/ml and alt and DNA was elevated BEFORE he started interferon therapy.  His Hbsag is very low but does not fulfil the criteria for inactive carrier.

Otan's HbSAG is <500iu/ml  but DNA and ALT is elevated.  He does not fulfil the criteria for inative carrier.  Perhaps he is already clearing the infection himself.  The ALT is due to his cells killing infected cells and DNA is released when he lyse the infected cells.  The infereon just speeded up the process.  What are your though?
