Pakistan is among ten most populous countries in world. All sorts of hepatitis are highly prevalent in Pakistan. Due to lack of proper mechanisms to handle sewerage, disinfection and lack of clean water supply across the country, hepatitis A and E are endemic in Pakistan. Moreover, Pakistan ranked in intermediate prevalence zone for hepatitis B and C. Also, prevailing socioeconomic conditions, political statuses and unstable healthcare delivery system are not suitable for tackling further progression of hepatitis viruses and its complications. The notable factors related to epidemiology of different hepatitis viruses have been described in this communication.

巴基斯坦是世界上人口最多的十个国家之一。各类肝炎在巴基斯坦极为普遍。由于缺乏处理污水的适当机制、消毒措施以及全国范围内清洁水供应不足,甲型和戊型肝炎在巴基斯坦呈地方流行。此外,巴基斯坦在乙型和丙型肝炎的中等流行区。而且,当前的社会经济状况、政治局势以及不稳定的医疗服务体系并不适合应对肝炎病毒的进一步发展及其并发症。本通讯中描述了与不同肝炎病毒流行病学相关的显著因素。
