Anti HBe
An anti-HBe test that is reactive (positive) while HBeAg levels have dropped below the detection threshold indicates the onset of recovery in an individual with hepatitis B. An anti-HBe test that is non-reactive (negative) may mean the infection is very recent and viral replication has not yet peaked.
