- - This study investigates the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in French Polynesia, where HBV infection significantly increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially in the Austral archipelago, known for its high detection rates.
- - Blood samples from nearly 2,000 adults were tested, revealing that 1.0% were carriers of HBV, with higher rates found specifically in certain areas like the Austral and Marquesas archipelagos. Factors such as location, age, and education level influenced HBV carriage.
- - Although French Polynesia generally shows low HBV endemicity and low risk for hepatitis C and delta infections, the findings highlight a need for improved detection and prevention efforts, especially
Background & Aims: Low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome, a rare genetic form of intrahepatic cholelithiasis in adults, is still poorly understood. We report the results of the largest-ever case-control study of patients with LPAC syndrome aiming to assess the prevalence, clinical features, and comorbidities of the disease.
Methods: We included all LPAC cases diagnosed between 2001 and 2016 in 11 French centres.
