Seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in Bo, Sierra Leone, 2012–2013
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The prevalence rate in Bo was similar to the 11–15% HBsAg prevalence rates reported in the past decade from other studies across West Africa, which will be important for reducing the future burden of disease and premature death attributable to chronic viral hepatitis B disease.
