One of the commonest modes of detection of hepatitis-B virus (HBV) infection is incidental detection. Incidentally detected asymptomatic HBsAg (IDAHS) positive patients represent a heterogeneous group with variable serological and clinical profile. The aim is to study the viral activity of IDAHS positive patients.
