A

Look at E antigen, ALTs, and Cirrhosis

64
Q

what question does HBeAg answer?

A

answers if virus is ACTIVELY replication

65
Q

what question does anti-HBe answer?

A

has the virus recently stopped replicating?

66

Treating Pregnant women with HBV:
want to minimize perinatal transmission:
thus begin at weeks _______ of gestation

A

28 - 32

67
Q

Treating Pregnant women with HBV:

treat pregnant women with HBV DNA > ________ IU/mL with __________
