  • Abstract
    We read with great interest the article, “efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine in those who lost hepatitis B surface antigen during follow-up” by Taheri et al. published in Hepatitis Monthly (1). In this article, the authors assessed the efficacy of HBV vaccine in those who lost their HBsAg without seroconverssion to anti-HBs antibody with no detectable anti-HBs antibody and HBV DNA in their sera.
