Our survey was concerned with searching for different markers of Hepatitis B virus infection in 267 primary and secondary school children in two Mauritanian sites in the south and south-east of the country. The results showed that for the surveyed subjects, 16.8% were carriers of HBs antigen, 21% of anti-HBs antibodies, 50.2% of anti-HBc antibodies and 45.4% of anti-HBe antibodies. Furthermore, 28.9% of the carriers of HBs antigen were also of HBe antigen. In all, 32.2% of the subjects had not been exposed to the Hepatitis B virus. These results confirmed the serious problem posed to public health by Hepatitis B infection and should prompt a programme to combat it.
我们的调查旨在寻找毛里塔尼亚南部和东南部两个地区267名中小学生感染乙型肝炎病毒的不同标志物。结果显示，在接受调查的对象中，16.8%为乙肝表面抗原携带者，21%有乙肝表面抗体，50.2%有乙肝核心抗体，45.4%有乙肝e抗体。此外，28.9%的乙肝表面抗原携带者也携带乙肝e抗原。总体而言，32.2%的对象未接触过乙型肝炎病毒。这些结果证实了乙型肝炎感染给公共卫生带来的严重问题，应促使开展一项防治计划。
