82 patients tested positive for HBsAg, accounting for 0.72 % of the total number of patients who were screened for active HBV infection. This is lower than the 1.1 % reported seroprevalence in the local pilot study in 2015 [16] but higher than the most recent estimate of 0.45 % by the ...

Separate laboratory tests can diagnose hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and monitor people with chronic hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is first diagnosed using a blood test that looks for certain antigens (fragments of HBV) and antibodies (produced by the immune system in response to HBV). The test...
Who needs hepatitis B testing? Hepatitis B often does not show symptoms so it is common for people to be unaware that they have an infection. If you do experience symptoms, they may consist of extreme fatigue, tenderness or pain in the lower abdomen, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting,...

In a recent meta-analysis, the prevalence of HBV infection in people living with HIV was estimated at 8.4% worldwide and up to 12.4% in West and Central Africa [4]. Since 2010, the WHO has recommended that if feas- ible, all patients be tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)...
Treatment for Chronic Hepatitis CIf a patient doesn’t recover from an infection of hepatitis C, it becomes a chronic, long-lasting infection of the liver. Also unlike hepatitis B, there is no vaccine to protect against its’ spread. There are many different ways to manage the disease. For...
