Figure 3. Survival curve showing years to seroconversion to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negativity in carriers, by hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)/anti-HBe status.

Line patterns represent carriers who seroconverted from HBeAg to anti-HBe; those who seroconverted from HBeAg to anti-HBe, then had reactivation of HBeAg; those who were persistently HBeAg negative and anti-HBe positive; and those who were initially anti-HBe positive, then had reactivation of HBeAg.
