“…The odds of having HBsAg was 6 times higher among pregnant women who had a history of multiple sexual partners compared to their counterparts. This finding is consistent with previous study reports from Legos, Nigeria, 53 Dawuro, Southern Ethiopia 26 and Yirgalem Hospital. 38 The possible justification could be due to the fact that HBV might be found in blood, semen and other body fluids that are exchanged during sexual contact.…”

“…The prevalence rate recorded in this study is close to that of [26] who recorded prevalence rate of 6.06% among patients receiving medical care in Lagos. However, it is lower than the 7.3% and 6.70% reported by [27] and [28] respectively. The prevalence is also lower than the 9.0% prevalence reported by [2] among pregnant women attending antenatal at Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos.…”

Hepatitis B infection is a global public health problem and is endemic in sub Saharan Africa. This disease has different modes of transmission and the infection is usually common in developing countries, including Nigeria. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of HBsAg among patients attending Defence Headquarters Medical Centre, Asokoro, Abuja. The work was a random cross-sectional study that included 260 patients during the period of May to July 2020. A rapid diagnostic test kit was used for the screening for HBsAg. Out of the 260 patients tested, 10 were positive, giving a prevalence of 3.8%. The highest prevalence based on age was found among those aged 27 to 36 years with 2.28% seropositivity. The infection was highest among the low class of socioeconomic status with 5.21%. Patients who were not knowledgeable about the disease had a higher prevalence rate of 13.60% and lastly females had a higher prevalence rate of 4.55% compared to males (3.33). The prevalence of Hepatitis B infection is quite high in the studied population, which could have some public health implications. Recommendations have, therefore, been advanced to control and possibly eradicate the disease in no distant time.

“…It also provides services to patients from the neighbouring South-Western states. The hospital is the largest in the state and offers mainly clinical services among which include gynaecological oncology services [ 17 ]. The gynaecology clinic is an all-female clinic with the cytology clinic being an off-shoot of it.…”

IntroductionCervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the developing countries and the seventh commonest cancer in the developed countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is now known to be the main factor in the aetiology of cervical cancer with over 99.7% of cases being associated with previous high risk HPV (hrHPV) infection. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for genital hrHPV infection among women attending the out-patient clinics of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study involving a total of 200 women. Questionnaires were administered to collect data such as sociodemographic, reproductive and sexual histories. Endocervical swab samples were then taken from each participant. Samples were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using consensus primers targeted against the hrHPV viruses.ResultsThe prevalence of hrHPV in the study was 36.5%. The most predominant HPV subtypes were 31 (25.0%), 35 (8.0%) and 16 (3.5%) with the largest proportion (76.1%) of the tested samples being positive for only a single hrHPV subtype. The study showed statistically significant associations between early age at coitarche (P = 0.032) and increasing number of lifetime sexual partners (P = 0.001) with genital hrHPV infection.ConclusionThe prevalence of hrHPV was high in Lagos with the majority of test positive samples having only a single HPV genotype. We demonstrated early age of sexual debut and increasing number of lifetime sexual partners as the most important factors associated with genital hrHPV infection.

Abstract: The sero-prevalence rate of HBV infection and also its infectivity is high in Lagos, Nigeria. These findings thus support the need for a nationwide policy of routine and widespread HBV screening among pregnant women.
