Of 1,801 Chinese subjects, age 1 to 90 years, screened for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody (HBsAg, anti-HBs) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc), 214 (1 1.9%) had an isolated, positive anti-HBc result; anti-HBc was reproducibly present in the initial sera in only 66% and per

## Abstract Several studies had been carried out on anti‐hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence in populations with blood exposure risks and in blood donors. New tests are now available which allow the in‐ vestigation to extend to other parameters such as antibody type and HCV‐RNA. In this study the p
At present eight hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have been characterized: A to H. The most common genotype in Northern Europe is genotype A. So far there is no record of the specific HBV genotype distribution in Iceland. Iceland has a small population whose homogeneity has changed due to increasin
## Abstract The prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti‐HCV) was studied in North East England in blood donors, local multiply transfused patients, local high risk individuals, and chronic liver disease patients. Anti‐HCV was detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 2/11
Haemophilic patients are at increased risk from hepatitis B virus infection because of their need for blood product therapy. They are potentially poor responders to hepatitis B vaccine due to immunological abnormalities resulting from two causes: infection with the human immunodeficiency virus and t
