Article Synopsis
- A study screened 1,020 pregnant women and 946 routine patients in Mauritania for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis Delta virus (HDV), revealing significant prevalence rates: 10.7% HBsAg and 66.3% anti-HBcAb in pregnant women, indicating high HBV endemicity.
- Factors like education level, ethnicity, blood transfusions, and gender were significantly associated with HBV exposure in pregnant women and patients.
- The study also identified high genetic diversity among HBV strains, with HBV/D being the most common genotype, and found that 67.7% of HDV-positive patients had detectable HDV-RNA.
