Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is common in refugees, particularly those resettled in Georgia, with over 10% of screened individuals testing positive for the virus during a study from 2003-2007.
- Most cases were found in younger refugees aged 10-39, primarily from Africa, indicating a significant public health issue in these communities.
- Though those testing positive were referred for further medical care, there is a lack of follow-up to ensure they actually accessed the healthcare system, highlighting the need for better support and management strategies for refugee health.
