During the first 12 months of a total population survey 249 patients were seen with viral hepatitis. A total of 215 of these were tested for hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) by radioimmunoassay and 32 (15%) were positive.More than five times as many men (27) as women (5) were HBAg positive and 19 of the men were between the ages of 20 and 39 years. There were only four drug addicts among those tested, two of whom were positive, as were two of the four patients who were tattooed.Sixty out of 86 children (under 15 years) were tested for HBAg and none was positive.
在一项总人口调查的头12个月里，共诊治了249例病毒性肝炎患者。其中215例通过放射免疫分析法检测了乙型肝炎抗原（HB Ag），32例（15%）呈阳性。HB Ag呈阳性的男性（27例）是女性（5例）的五倍多，19名男性年龄在20至39岁之间。检测对象中只有4名吸毒者，其中2名呈阳性，4名纹身患者中的2名也呈阳性。86名15岁以下儿童中有60名接受了HB Ag检测，无一例呈阳性。
