Background:  

Chronic infection by hepatitis B virus results in liver cirrhosis, cancer, and high mortality in infants and young adults.  In chronic infection, patients carrying the virus may not show clinical symptoms.  Hepatitis virus B surface antigen (HBSAg), also known as Australian antigen, is the envelop protein at the surface of hepatitis B virus.  Positive test result for HBSAg indicates that the blood provider is a human hepatitis B virus carrier and the blood is infectious.
