In some people the virus will inactivate by itself The likelihood of spontaneous HBsAg seroconversion during acute HBV infection varies according to patient age and immune competence. Up to 97% of healthy adults with acute HBV will clear the infection. In contrast, HBsAg seroconversion in chronically infected patients is a relatively uncommon event, with an incidence of only 0.8%-2% per annum. Chronically infected who typically acquired HBV infection in adulthood. have a higher rate of spontaneous HBsAg loss than Asian patients with presumed vertical acquisition of HBV.
