The first hepatitis B vaccine dose was administered to 230 TGW who were randomly assigned to receive an accelerated vaccine scheme (G1; n = 112) or a standard scheme (G2; n = 118) (Figure 1). There was no difference between the groups in terms of age, education, and color (p > ...
The main difference between hepatitis B and C is that there's a vaccine for hepatitis B, but there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. The best way toprevent hepatitis Cis to avoid sharing drug injection materials with others. Hepatitis B Symptoms ...
We consider important that similar studies are extended over a period of many years, since infection rates are not similar each year and a limited study period will not yield representative results. HBsAg had an overall prevalence rate of 2.66% with a significant difference between sexes (3.39% ...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a highly contagious pathogen that afflicts over a third of the world’s population, resulting in close to a million deaths annually. The formation and persistence of the HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is the root cause of HBV chronicity. However, the...

Presence of a chronic disease was associated with lack of seroprotection only among persons =<40 years of age (P < .05). The two vaccines studied differed in their overall seroprotection rates (90% vs. 86%; P < .05), however, this difference was restricted to persons =<40 years of ...
