Hello Team
Am Biomedical Lab technologist working with Health center In kasese, Uganda, a region of the country where HEP B is on the raise.
My query concerns there management. After going through a panel test for HEPBsAg +ve, and IgM anti HBc -ve, which probably indicate a likely hood of a chronic HBV infection with review of clinical history, how would you proceed to help treat that kind of patient. And if they are not liable to treatment, what aids that conclusion?
In some recommendations, i have read monitor within arange of 4-6 weeks. In that regard are you waiting for any relapse of clinical signs or?
My overall concern is patients ruled to in chronic state of HBV infection are not being given treatment, neither are they being followed up due to lack of knowledge. Can you please advise technically?
