| Core Tip |
This study examined the association between interferon (IFN) therapy and loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in inactive HBsAg carriers. This was a retrospective cohort study in inactive HBsAg carriers with a serum HBsAg level < 100 IU/mL and a persis-tently undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level (< 100 IU/mL). All the 20 treated patients received subcutaneous PEG-IFN alfa-2a 180 μg/wk for 72 wk and were then followed for 24 wk. IFN treatment resulted in HBsAg loss (65.0%) and seroconversion in a considerable proportion of inactive HBsAg carriers with low HBsAg concentrations. In the control group, no patient experienced HBsAg loss/seroconversion, and 2 (5.0%) developed HBV reactivation.
