Identification of Chronic Hepatitis B Infections Among African and Asian Immigrants in Minnesota Through Community-Wide Screening

About this study

The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the United States (US) is relatively low. However, immigrant populations in the US from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa have substantially higher prevalence than the general population and are consequently at a significant risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
