[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Let me analyze your reports-1.Bag - reactive (Bag is a marker of both acute and chronic Herb infection)2. IgM antic - nonreactive, Egg antic - reactive (IGM antic is a marker of acute infection, Egg is a marker of chronic infection)3. HBO DNA copies are nearly 10^4. This actually points towards recurrence of chronic hepatitis B. Serum Bag level at the end of treatment and rate of HBV DNA suppression can provide supplementary information to guide the timing of stopping anti-viral Chat Doctor. To prevent relapse in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection, age and serum bilirubin level of patients as well as a prolonged duration of additional therapy should be considered. There are plenty of medications available as you know like Endeavor, Regulated Interferon and others. They can be started based on the HBV DNA level and GOT, SGPT level. Do not worry. It would have been great had I examined him on my own. I would suggest you to take him to a gastroenterologist. He/she can examine him and correlate clinically. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your good health.
