Figure 2 Baseline HBsAg levels according to phase of infection (inactive vs active) and in active carriers (AC) according to HBV-DNA levels (persistently <20,000 IU/mL vs ≥20,000 IU/mL) and the presence and the stage of liver disease (chronic hepatitis vs cirrhosis). HBsAg levels were significantly different in the following: IC vs AC: P < .001; IC vs AC1: P < .001; AC1 vs AC2: P < .001.
