Prevalence and molecular characterization of occult hepatitis B virus in pregnant women from Gondar, Ethiopia

22 Apr 2020

Abstract excerpt

Background: The greatest risk of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is from mother-to-child transmission. Approximately 20% of individuals in sub-Saharan Africa are hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen-positive (HBsAg+), but the prevalence of occult hepatitis B (OHB) is unknown. Aim: This study investigated CHB and OHB prevalence and viral variants in a cohort of pregnant women in Gondor, Ethiopia. Methods: = 200;...
