Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus, a partially double-stranded DNA virus.
The severity of Hepatitis B disease ranges from an acute, short-term illness to a chronic, lifelong disease that puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. Treatment against chronic hepatitis B is possi- ble with medications, while there is no cure for acute infec- tions.
The virus is transmitted through contact with an infected person’s blood and other bodily fluids. The presence of hep- atitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) indicates that the person is contagious.
INTENDED USE
Turklab’s HbsAg Test is a rapid, immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in human serum, plasma, and whole blood samples.
• The presence of HBsAg indicates that the person is infected.
• Direct detection of virus antigens and all subtypes of HBsAg so accuracy is high.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
• Sensitivity : 100%
• Specificity: 99,89 %
