Thank you for the question. I don't know why you're asking that. A lymph node biopsy can be used for a variety of purposes. With the advancement of science, it is possible to interpret from the genes in the biopsy sample, but testing for hepatitis B virus is not done by this method.
You can contact the Hotlines of Vinmec hospitals for consultation. Thank you for your interest and question on Vinmec.com website. Hope you get well soon. Best regards.
