“…The prevalence of hepatitis B infected population was higher in men 70.52% (95% CI 68.65-72.32) than women 29.48% (95% CI 27.68-31.35) in our population. (Table 3.1.1) Similar to our findings, higher prevalence in men than women were reported by Ullah , et al 10 (61.23% vs. 38.77% ), Khan, et al 9 from Mardan, Pakistan (56.92% vs. 43.08%), Khan, et al 7 from Lahore, Pakistan (68.15% vs. 31.85%), Mousawea , et al 6 (79.01% vs. 20.99%), Tao, et al 5 (58.53% vs. 41.47%), Soliman, et al 4 (67.25% vs. 32.75 %) & Badawi, et al 3 (77.81% vs. 22.19%). Dissimilar to our findings, lower prevalence in men than women were delineated by Ullah, et al 8 from Peshawar, Pakistan (38.46% vs. 61.54%).…”

Background: Significant morbidity and mortality is caused by untreated hepatitis B virus infection through cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The objectives of our study were to determine distribution of hepatitis B infected population by sex and age groups in District D.I.Khan, Pakistan.Materials Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at District Health Office, D.I.Khan, Pakistan from January 30, 2021 to February 15, 2021. Data was collected for period from March 14, 2013 to January 28, 2021 for 2368 hepatitis B infected cases from population at risk consecutively. Sex and age groups were demographic variables. Data type was nominal for sex and ordinal for age groups. Distribution was analyzed by count, percentage and confidence intervals for proportion for population. Hypotheses for distribution were substantiated by chi-square goodness-of-fit test.Results: Out of 2368 hepatitis B infected population, 1670 (70.52%) were men 698(29.48%) women, and 562 (23.73%) were in age group 0-20 years, 1266 (53.46%) in 21-40 years, 462 (19.51%) in 41-60 years 78 (3.30%) in 60 years. Our distribution by sex (p.00001) and age groups (p.00001) were different than expected respectively.Conclusion: In our study, hepatitis B infection was more common in men than women and most common in age group 21-40 years, followed by 0-20 years, 41-60 years and 60 years. Our observed prevalence of hepatitis B infection in men was higher than expected in women it was lower than expected. Our observed prevalence in the four age groups was not similar to expected.

“…According to a study, between 1.2% and 15.9% of people have HCV (5). In Pakistan, the frequency of hepatitis B infection is alarmingly rising, ranging from 2 to 8% in various populations.20.2% of the district is urban, while 79.8% of the region is rural 10 . Hepatitis B and C in pregnant females: Millions of people worldwide die each year from viral hepatitis, even pregnant women.…”

Background: Hepatitis refers to liver inflammation because it can be cause by drugs,chemicals, heavy alcohol consumptionand due to some medical disorders. The hepatitis B (HBV) is a double stranded DNA virus having multiple serological indicators whereas hepatocellular carcinoma is assumed to be significantly influenced by hepatitis C viral infection. Aim: To evaluate the frequency of hepatitis B & C in pregnant females as well as how many people were affected through dental clinics and sporadic sources in Pakistan. Methods:All the data for this review article was collected from different databases such as Google scholar, PubMed, Pak Medinet and Medline. Findings:In Pakistan, the occurrence of hepatitis B infection is alarmingly rising, ranging from 2 to 8% in various populations. 20.2% in urban, while 79.8% in rural regionwhereas HCV affects almost 8.74 million people in Pakistan. Practical Implication& Conclusion: The foremost purpose of this systematic review was to assessment the frequencyof hepatitis B and C among Pakistani population from already reported data and concluded that the rate of spread of hepatitis B,C through sporadic sources and dental source is also a well-known factor in Pakistani population. So as this review would be helpful for those researchers who work on the hepatitis control program in the Pakistan.

Hepatitis is defined as an enlargement of the liver. Viral hepatitis is the word used for the group of liver ailments generated by viral infections. There are approximately 350 million people worldwide who have chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. HBV is estimated to kill 563,000 people each year and cause a high rate of infection. The Hepatitis B DNA virus comprises of a 3.2 kb relaxed-spherical DNA molecule. Of the total eight genotypes of HBV, genotype D is the most common, with an actual incidence rate of 63.71%, followed by genotype A at 10%, according to ten distinct studies conducted in diverse parts of Pakistan. Symptoms may take up to six months to emerge after exposure. Early signs and symptoms of HBV infection are lethargy, nausea, poor appetite, vomiting, pyrexia, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, gastrointestinal disturbances, dark urine, and jaundice. Pakistan is one of the worst affected countries, with over 40 million Pakistanis infected with HBV. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology and natural history of HBV infection and its diagnosis and treatment.
