pre-treatment screen for latent TB and hepatitis:

Latent Hepatitis screen Dr Bennet (GI doc) says:  (I looked up Quest and LabCorp #'s)

Better:

Hepatitis B tests:

  Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) -- you have an active hepatitis B infection, either recent or chronic

  Antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (Anti-HBc) -- you have a recent or past hepatitis B infection

  Antibody to HBsAg (Anti-HBs)

      You have a past hepatitis B infection

      You have received the hepatitis B vaccine and are unlikely to become infected

  Hepatitis B type e antigen (HBeAg)

      You have a chronic hepatitis B infection

      You are more likely to spread the infection to others through sexual contact or by sharing needles
