The presence of HBeAg and anti-HBe was tested in 876 serum samples collected at 10-day intervals from 146 HBsAg-positive acute viral hepatitis patients. The clearance of HBsAg was followed up in the patients grouped according to HBsAg subtypes and to HBe system seroconversion or HBeAg persistence. The clearance of HBsAg was found to be more rapid in patients with HBe system seroconversion, in the case of HBsAg/ay and in female patients.
