It is an interesting issue to study the prevalence of hepatitis C and B viruses in Egypt in the last decade. In this study, the overall hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody to hepatitis C virus prevalence were 1.65% and 9.02%, respectively. Antibody to hepatitis C virus and hepatitis B surface antigen prevalence estimates dropped from 11.06% to 6.3% (P = .001) and 1.24% to 1.17% (P = .2), respectively.
研究过去十年埃及丙型和乙型肝炎病毒的流行情况是一个有趣的问题。在这项研究中,乙型肝炎表面抗原和丙型肝炎病毒抗体的总体流行率分别为 1.65%和 9.02%。丙型肝炎病毒抗体和乙型肝炎表面抗原的流行率估计分别从 11.06%降至 6.3%(P =.001)和从 1.24%降至 1.17%(P =.2)。
