Prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus Genotypes Among Patients with Liver Disease in Eritrea

2020-11-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a blood-borne hepatotrophic virus and a major causative agent of liver disease. The virus is highly endemic in African countries, and five genotypes (A–E) have been identified. This study aimed to establish the most prevalent genotypes of HBV among liver disease patients from different geographical regions of Eritrea, an East African multi-ethnic country. <h4>Method...
