Risk of Hepatitis B Virus in Africa Region
Chronic hepatitis B caused by persistent infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major public health threat in endemic regions like the World Health Organization (WHO) Africa region. Chronic infection with HBV poses a 15–25% lifetime risk of acquiring liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. This is inversely proportionate to the age of acquisition and in the absence of interventions, ~90% of babies born to mothers testing positive for the hepatitis B surface (HBsAg) or e (HBeAg) antigens will develop chronic infection, raising significant global public health concern.
