Seroprevalence and genotypic characterization of HBV among low risk voluntary blood donors in Nairobi, Kenya.

Virology journal - 13 Nov 2020

Aluora Patrick Okoti, Muturi Margaret Wangui, Gachara George

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes significant morbidity and mortality globally primarily due to its ability to cause hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services screens for Hepatitis B antibodies using the chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay method. This test does not inform on the genotypic characteristics of the virus or the actual...
