Abstract
Purpose of Review

It is crucial for clinicians to understand the need to screen for hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc status), proper interpretation of HBV biomarkers, and that “anti-HBc only” indicates HBV exposure, lifelong persistence of cccDNA with incomplete infection control, and potential risk for reactivation.
Findings

Many common misconceptions exist, including that tests for anti-HBc have high false-positive rates, that patients with anti-HBc alone or occult hepatitis B may profit from “vaccine boosting” to achieve immune control of HBV, and that anti-HBc(+)/anti-HBs(+) patients have cleared HBV when they have actually achieved immune control, while HBV persists in some hepatocytes and can reactivate.
Summary

This review breaks down several common misconceptions regarding anti-HBc with the most recent evidence. In addition, current best strategies for anti-HBc testing and interpretation are reviewed and summarized.

审查目的

对于临床医生而言，了解筛查乙型肝炎核心抗原（抗HBc状况），正确解释HBV生物标志物的必要性以及“仅抗HBc”指示HBV暴露，cccDNA终生持续存在且感染控制不完全至关重要，以及重新激活的潜在风险。
发现

存在许多常见的误解，包括抗-HBc检测的假阳性率高，单独使用抗-HBc或隐匿性乙型肝炎的患者可从“疫苗加强”中受益，以实现对HBV的免疫控制，以及抗-HBc（ +）/抗HBs（+）患者在实际达到免疫控制后已清除HBV，而HBV仍存在于某些肝细胞中并可以重新激活。
摘要

这篇综述打破了关于抗-HBc的最新的误解。此外，对当前抗HBc检测和解释的最佳策略进行了综述和总结。
