Abstract The potential infectivity of 640 plasma specimens with various biochemical profiles was directly assessed by hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA dot-hybridization. We found that specimens with "at risk" biochemical profiles typical of various forms of liver disease were not significantly more likely to carry HBV than the general patient population. Specimens containing HBV cannot be distinguished from non-infectious specimens by any simple biochemical tests, including aminotransferases and bilirubin. The only predictive feature of HBV-positive samples was that they were more likely to be labeled as "biohazardous" by the medical staff, but even this was not always the case.

Abstract The potential infectivity of 1129 randomly selected plasma specimens was directly assayed by hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA dot-hybridization. Presence or absence of HBV was then correlated with a biochemical profile of 20 common analytes obtained on these same specimens. We found that potentially infectious specimens could not be identified on the basis of any combination of simple biochemical tests; indeed, the infectious specimens were more "normal" in some tests of liver function than were the non-infectious specimens.
