In assessing the patient the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) the physician must decide on the basis of physical findings, results of laboratory tests and biopsy, when indicated, whether the patient is an asymptomatic carrier or has acute or chronic hepatitis. Asymptomatic carriers of HBsAg must be educated in personal hygiene and the possibility of transmission, should not be allowed to donate blood or breast-feed and should not work with blood products for human use or pharmaceutical products designated for intravenous use. However, it is otherwise not necessary to advise these individuals to change their profession.
在评估患者的乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）时，医生必须根据体格检查结果、实验室检查结果以及必要时的活检结果，来判断患者是无症状携带者、患有急性肝炎还是慢性肝炎。必须对HBsAg无症状携带者进行个人卫生及传播可能性方面的教育，他们不得献血或哺乳，不得从事与人类用血制品或指定用于静脉注射的药品相关的工作。然而，除此之外，无需建议这些人更换职业。
