2,394 cases of hepatitis B (including 114 infections with both HBV and HCV) were reported in 2001 in Poland; the incidence rate was 6.2 per 100,000 population. The total number of cases decreased by 431 and incidence rate by 1.1 comparing to 2000. From 1993 to 2001 decline in number of cases was 5.5 times. This decline was mainly the result of vaccination of children and high risk patients though the improvement of sterilisation procedures could be of significance, especially in persons below 60 years of age. About 96.3% of all cases were hospitalised. Regional differences in both, the incidence rate and percentage of hospitalizations were observed. The incidence of hepatitis B per 100,000 was higher in urban (7.0) than in rural (4.9) population. The lowest incidence (0.4) was observed in children aged 0-4 years; in older children (5-9 years of age) the incidence rates were 4.5 in boys and 2.2 in girls. The highest ranging incidence, from 5.5 to 8.2 was found in the age group 15-24 years, especially in boys and young men (from 7.4 to 11.6) living in urban areas.
2001年，波兰报告了2394例乙型肝炎病例（包括114例同时感染乙肝病毒和丙肝病毒的病例）；发病率为每10万人6.2例。与2000年相比，病例总数减少了431例，发病率下降了1.1。从1993年到2001年，病例数下降了5.5倍。这种下降主要是儿童和高危患者接种疫苗的结果，不过消毒程序的改进可能也有重要意义，尤其是在60岁以下的人群中。所有病例中约96.3%住院治疗。观察到发病率和住院率的地区差异。城市地区每10万人中乙肝发病率（7.0）高于农村地区（4.9）。0至4岁儿童的发病率最低（0.4）；年龄较大的儿童（5至9岁）中，男孩发病率为4.5，女孩为2.2。发病率最高的范围在15至24岁年龄组，为5.5至8.2，尤其是居住在城市地区的男孩和青年男性（7.4至11.6）。
