What causes positive hepatitis B e and nuclear antibodies?

Hepatitis B e antibody and core antibody positivity is the result of previous exposure to the hepatitis B virus, that is, previous infection with hepatitis B, but it is possible to be in a state of hepatitis B infection at the present time, or it is possible to have been cured. Because e antibody corresponds to e antigen, and core antibody corresponds to core antigen, and e antigen and core antigen only exist in the molecule of hepatitis B virus, only when hepatitis B virus replicates in the body, it will produce these two antigens accordingly, and the body will produce the two antibodies accordingly. Therefore, it is possible that you are currently infected with hepatitis B, but it is also possible that you have already cleared the hepatitis B virus, depending on which one of the hepatitis B surface antigen and surface antibody is positive. If the surface antigen is positive, it is a state of small triple positive, hepatitis B infection; if the surface antibody of hepatitis B is positive, it is a cured state, but in this case, sometimes it is also necessary to check the DNA quantification of hepatitis B virus to further clarify.
