Seroprevalence patterns of viral hepatitis B, C, and E among internally displaced persons in Borno State, Nigeria
The prevalence of viral hepatitis biomarkers among the IDPs studied was higher than those reported in national figures and differed according to camps and population subgroups. There is a need for improved surveillance and access to testing for viral hepatitis biomarkers for the purpose of improved disease prevention and control in these medically underserved populations.
