Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Universal vaccination and antiviral therapy have reduced chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) in natives in the Western world. However, immigration from high HBV endemic areas continues to maintain a relatively stable prevalence of chronic hepatitis B in most developed countries. METHODS: All foreigners attending a referral infectious diseases department in Madrid, Spain, from January 2007 to December...
