Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals high rates of hepatitis B and C in hemodialysis patients, indicating urgent need for better infection control measures.

Key Points

HCV infections are more prevalent than HBV infections among hemodialysis patients, reinforcing the need for urgent action.
Out of 521 patients, 6.53% were positive for HBV and 10.36% for HCV, with co-infection in 0.58%.
This cross-sectional survey assessed patients from five hemodialysis centers in Yemen during 2019.
High prevalence rates signify potential nosocomial transmission, highlighting the importance of improving infection control.
