Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals high HBV seroprevalence and diverse genotypes among patients, indicating public health challenges.

Key Points

  • Over 31% of patients were HBsAg-positive, indicating significant hepatitis B virus presence.
  • Genotype E was the most prevalent among the HBV-positive patients, detected in 22.6% of cases.
  • This cross-sectional study involved 100 febrile patients from the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital.
  • The findings highlight genetic diversity of HBV in Nigeria, suggesting challenges for effective control measures.
