Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The reported prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the Indian general population varies from 2% to 11%. Epidemiological studies conducted so far have selection biases, since these included populations of defined age group, gender, social class, high-risk group, etc. The present study was designed to look for the molecular epidemiology of HBV infection in the rural and urban general...
