Acta Med Scand. 1984;215(1):89-92. doi: 10.1111/j.0954-6820.1984.tb04975.x.

Abstract

A high titer of hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg) was found in a patient with acute hepatitis B infection complicated by bone marrow aplasia. A possible antimitotic effect of HBsAg as an aetiological factor of the aplasia in this patient is discussed.
