“…Eastern Mediterranean regions have low-intermediate endemicity with the exception of Somalia, Djibouti and Sudan which demonstrate a higher prevalence. The percentage of the population infected with HBV in the following countries are: Pakistan 4.5%[ 36 ], Yemen 12.7%-18.5%, Sudan 5%-8.2%[ 37 , 38 ], and Somalia 5.6%-21.3%[ 35 ]; HEV has been seen commonly reported in Sudan, South Sudan, Pakistan and Somalia[ 39 ] (Figure 5 [ 25 ]).…”

Viral hepatitis is one of the major public health concerns around the world but until recently it has drawn little attention or funding from global health policymakers. Every year 1.4 million people die from viral hepatitis-related cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, the majority of the infected population are unaware of their condition. This population have significant obstacles to overcome such as lack of awareness, vulnerability, increased migration, disease stigma, discrimination, as well as poor health resources, conflict in policy development and program implementation. Despite implementing infection control measures over the last few decades eradication or significant disease reduction remains elusive. This study aims to present the current global prevalence status and examines potential elimination strategies. The information for this research were obtained through a systematic review, published scientific literatures, the official websites of various government organisations, international public health organisations and internationally recognised regulatory bodies over a period of 40 years between 1978 and 2018.

“…Persons with chronic infection (presence of HbsAg in the serum more than six months following acute infection) (7). More than one million infected people are killed by complications due to the virus annually worldwide, which is 2.7% of total deaths (8). People who were infected early in life are at high risk of developing cirrhosis or liver carcinoma 15% to 30%, leading to premature death (9).…”

Hepatitis B (HBV) is a significant liver disease that affects roughly 400 million individuals globally with chronic infection, leading to liver cirrhosis or carcinoma. The virus can spread through blood transfusion, sexual contact, or the use of contaminated needles. HBV is more prevalent in developing countries than developed ones. However, it is estimated that 5% to 10% of the global population carry the virus, whereas, in North America and western Europe, only 1% of the people have a chronic infection. Our objective is to determine the prevalence of HBV and identify the disease’s risk factors. We conducted a statistical study, and data were collected through the Al Zzawia street hospital from November 1, 2010, to January 1, 2011. Our results concluded that the prevalence of HbsAg was higher in 2005 than in 2010. HBV was also found to be more prevalent in males than in females. As a result, more attention and guidance, especially for young people, could reduce the spread drastically.

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.
