I have been using this report. It is designed to capture those patients who were exposed to Hep B either from infection (HbsAg +) or from vaccination (HbsAb +), look at the definitions below:

HbsAg positive

* The first indicator of infection and seen throughout course of disease

* Persistence is marker of failure to clear infection

HbsAb positive

* Marker of protection due to either previous infection or immunization

Has anyone used CAREWare's preprogrammed Hepatitis B report (either in version 3.6 or 4.0)? It's supposed to output clients who have or have had Hepatitis B , but the criteria for the report is:

Clients with Hepatitis B (HBsAb or HBsAg Positive ever)

If someone had only an HBsAb+ that would mean they were vaccinated , not that they ever had Hep B. Should the criteria instead be: HBsAg or HBcAb positive ever?

I'm not a Hep B specialist, so just looking for others thoughts on this. Thanks.
