Figure 1 Distribution of hepatitis B surface antigen titers during natural history of chronic hepatitis B and correlation between serum hepatitis B surface antigen titers and hepatitis B virus DNA in different phases of chronic hepatitis B. A: Median values with 95% confidence interval; B-D: The ratio of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the five phases of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Dots represent individual values, bars 95%CI of median, and numbers are median values.

Figure 2 Ratio of hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B virus DNA in each phase of chronic hepatitis B. Median values with 95% confidence interval (of median) are shown. IT: Immune-tolerant; IC: Immune-clearance; ENH: Hepatitis B e antigen negative hepatitis; LR: Low-replicative; LC: Liver cirrhosis; HBsAg: Hepatitis B surface antigen; HBV: Hepatitis B virus.
