A total of 2,825 (7.3 per 100,000 population) cases of hepatitis B (including 130 co-infections with both HBV and HCV) were reported in 2000 in Poland. Comparing to 1999 the total number of cases decreased by 683 and incidence by 1.8. This decline resulted mainly from vaccination of children and high risk patients though the improvement of sterilization procedures could be also of significance, especially in persons below 60 years of age. The number of hospitalizations in 2000 increased by 15%. Regional differences in both incidence and percentage of hospitalizations were observed. The incidence of hepatitis B per 100,000 was higher in urban (8.3) than in rural (7.4) population. The lowest incidence (0.6) was observed in children aged 0-4 years; in older children (5-9 years of age) the incidence rates were 8.6 in boys and 3.4 in girls. The highest incidence, ranging from 4.5 to 9.1 was found in the age group 14-24 years, especially in boys and young men living in urban areas.
2000年，波兰共报告了2825例乙型肝炎病例（每10万人口中有7.3例）（包括130例同时感染乙肝病毒和丙肝病毒的病例）。与1999年相比，病例总数减少了683例，发病率下降了1.8。这种下降主要是由于儿童和高危患者接种疫苗所致，不过消毒程序的改进也可能起到了重要作用，尤其是在60岁以下的人群中。2000年住院人数增加了15%。观察到发病率和住院百分比存在地区差异。每10万人口中，城市地区（8.3）的乙肝发病率高于农村地区（7.4）。0至4岁儿童的发病率最低（0.6）；年龄较大的儿童（5至9岁）中，男孩的发病率为8.6，女孩为3.4。发病率最高的是14至24岁年龄组，为4.5至9.1，尤其是居住在城市地区的男孩和年轻男性。
