Enter your hepatitis B panel results to quickly interpret the report, assess infection status, and check immunity.
CDC triple-panel qualitative patterns; anti-HBc must be total antibody. Extra HBe markers are shown without viral-load inference. No acute/chronic, infectivity, immunity guarantee or treatment decision. Reference
Select the qualitative result for each item in the order shown on your report.
Select results for all 5 markers to begin
Enter all five results to see what the pattern may mean and recommended next steps
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This page matches a complete set of qualitative hepatitis B results to a limited reference pattern. Enter HBsAg (surface antigen), anti-HBs (surface antibody), HBeAg (e antigen), anti-HBe (e antibody), and anti-HBc (core antibody). Each entry accepts Positive or Negative; all five are required.
The pattern label is based on HBsAg, anti-HBs, and total anti-HBc. This is the three-marker combination the U.S. CDC recommends for adult screening. HBeAg and anti-HBe remain visible in the entered-results summary, but they do not change the matched label. The tool does not analyze numbers, test cutoffs, dates, or other clinical information. CDC testing guidance explains why combinations, rather than a single marker, matter.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Match the report’s abbreviations to the five items shown. Anti-HBc must refer to total core antibody for comparison with the common screening pattern; an IgM-only result is a different test.
Select Positive or Negative for every marker, following the lab report. If a marker is missing, borderline, indeterminate, or reported only as a number, this form cannot represent it.
Choose Analyze Results after all five entries are selected. Read the pattern label alongside the three-marker selections and the two e-marker entries. Use Start Over to clear the selections.
For example, a report with HBsAg negative, anti-HBs positive, and total anti-HBc negative matches the reference pattern commonly seen after vaccination. The tool still asks for both e-marker results, although they do not affect that match.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Enter the qualitative results to see which reference pattern is returned. Bring the original report, including values, reference ranges, date, and test names, to a clinician for interpretation.
If the label seems inconsistent with the report or your history, verify the five selections and ask the laboratory or clinician whether the markers are comparable. The screen cannot resolve an unusual or conflicting result.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
All five are collected and shown in the entered-results card. The matched pattern uses HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc; HBeAg and anti-HBe are displayed without being used to infer viral activity or change the pattern.
Not as a substitute for total anti-HBc. IgM anti-HBc answers a different clinical question, so ask the ordering clinician how to interpret it rather than treating this match as equivalent.
No. It is a limited comparison of qualitative entries, not a diagnosis or a way to rule out infection. A clinician must interpret the full report and relevant history.
This form only accepts Positive or Negative. Do not convert borderline or quantitative results yourself; use the laboratory’s interpretation and ask the ordering clinician what follow-up is appropriate.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This reference cannot establish acute or chronic infection, immunity, infectiousness, disease severity, or treatment needs. It does not include HBV DNA, IgM anti-HBc, quantitative anti-HBs, liver tests, assay cutoffs, recent vaccination, pregnancy, exposure timing, or medical history. A negative or familiar-looking label does not rule out a condition, and a positive result does not by itself settle what it means for you.
Use the laboratory report and a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis, vaccination, and treatment decisions. If the entries are contradictory, incomplete, or do not match the report’s terminology, ask the laboratory or clinician to review the original results. This page is educational reference material, not medical advice.
