The results of this acute hepatitis panel may not be useful in the evaluation of the recovery phase of acute HBV infection, the identification of past HBV infection or the evaluation of vaccine associated HBV immunity. If any of these HBV related circumstances are a clinical consideration, a hepatitis B core antibody (which includes both IgG and IgM hepatitis B core antibody) and a hepatitis B surface antibody could be considered.
