详细描述
PICO : What is the knowledge , practice and attitude of people in a village in a remote governorate towards viral hepatitis B and C ?
Introduction :
There are 5 main strains of the hepatitis virus , named alphabetically A, B, C , D and E and while they share in their ability to cause liver disease , they are different regarding mode of transmission , severity , geographical distribution and methods of prevention (1).
In particular of these 5 strains , both viral hepatitis B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of milions of people and are the leading cause of liver cirrhosis , liver cancer and viral hepatitis deaths (2) and good news that a WHO study predicted that four and half million premature viral hepatitis related deaths could be prevented in developing countries by 2030 through vaccination , screening tests , drugs and health education (3 ).
WHO estimated about 300 million people have chronic hepatitis B with chance of about 1.5 new infection yearly (4) with a systematic review and meta analysis of published studies from 2000 to 2022 revealed around 3.67 % prevalence of HBV in overall population in Egypt based on HBsAG with similar incidence in urban and rural areas ,2.4% and 2.15% respectively and the lowest prevalence among children less than 20 years old with history of vaccination aginast HBV as a compulsory vaccination in Egypt thus signifies high vaccination coverage among this age group(5) .
