Definition

A rapid screening test to detect hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) in human blood to diagnose previous or ongoing hepatitis B infections, and also can be used to screen for the presence of HBeAg in blood products for transfusion. Rapid tests for Hepatitis B e (envelope) antigen (HBeAg) are available in test strip and cassette formats from manufacturers in various countries including the US and China. (As of 08/25/2014, no HBeAg rapid test kits are approved for use in the United States). This term was based on, but not limited in use to, the Medinostics International HBeAg Rapid Screen Test kit that uses a colloidal gold enhanced immunoassay for the determination of anti-HBe antigen (HBeAg) in human whole blood, serum or plasma. Testing can be done in 15-20 minutes.
