The Australia-antigen (HBSAG) is a simple detectable marker of an infection with hepatitis B virus. By demonstration of HBSAG an acute hepatitis B can be differentiated from other forms. Likewise the detection of HBSAG in chronic active hepatitis can differentiate the viral induced type from the autoimmune type. HBSAG is important with respect to the prognosis of an acute hepatitis B, because persistence for some months points at a transition to chronic hepatitis.
澳大利亚抗原（乙肝表面抗原）是乙肝病毒感染的一种易于检测的标志物。通过检测乙肝表面抗原，可将急性乙型肝炎与其他类型的肝炎区分开来。同样，在慢性活动性肝炎中检测乙肝表面抗原，可将病毒诱导型与自身免疫型区分开来。乙肝表面抗原对于急性乙型肝炎的预后很重要，因为其持续数月表明病情已转变为慢性肝炎。
