Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the main causes of chronic hepatitis in developing countries. The current study was done to evaluate the efficacy of the chemiluminescence, ELISA and immune chromatographic (ICT) test to Real Time-PCR (RT_PCR) for establishing the diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in indoor and outdoor patients of Department of Medicine, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences.

Methods and Material: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 475 patients. The demographic data and patient’s serum samples of the subjects was collected. The samples were analysed by chemiluminescence, ELISA, ICT & real RT-PCR for HBV.

Result: In the present study, of total 70 by chemil... view more»
