| Response from Dr. McGovern
 He has evidence of chronic infection due to his reactive HBsAg. His normal ALT (a liver function test) and his reactive anti-HBe are reassuring. A HBV DNA test would be helpful to confirm that he is indeed an "inactive carrier". You should have hepatitis B testing as well and if negative, you should get vaccinated. | ||||||||
