Abstract excerpt

In the United Republic of Tanzania, 457 voluntary blood donors were enrolled in hepatitis B virus (HBV) serological screening; 4.8% (22/457) carried HBsAg, 13.6% (3/22) of whom were HBeAg-positive. The mean age among HBeAg-negative carriers was 31 years. HBV DNA was detectable in 81.8% (18/22), the mean level was 3.67 (+/-1.77) log copies/ml. Genotype A was determined in 90.9% (20/22) and 18/20 were classified...
