| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 The cortisone will not turn the surface antigen negative, however it may actually cause a relapse of the hepatitis B disease if it was dormant. Any kind of immunosuppressive treatment can do that, like chemotherapy or kidney failure. Be careful, do not play with steroids like cortisone! Stay well! DTD | ||||||||
