    Relationship between HBV DNA load and anti-HBs reactivity in an OBI donor associated with transfusion transmission of HBV (modified from [97]). Open and plain circles indicate anti-HBs reactivity (IU/L) and HBV DNA load (IU/mL), respectively. The dashed line indicates absence of HBV DNA testing. HBV transmission is indicated by black vertical arrows; absence of transmission by an open arrow.
