Comparative Performance of Three Rapid HBsAg Assays for Detection of HBs Diagnostic Escape Mutants in Clinical Samples.

The development of rapid tests (RTs) for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) detection is expanding, especially for point-of-care (POC) testing. As mutations in the a determinant of HBsAg have been associated with failures to detect HBsAg by using some traditional HBsAg assays, this study aimed to
