Revealing viral hepatitis epidemiology in the Democratic Republic of Congo: insights from yellow fever surveillance reanalysis
Viral hepatitis is a major cause of acute febrile jaundice in the DRC with notable geographic and seasonal trends. National yellow fever surveillance is a valuable resource for understanding hepatitis epidemiology, though careful interpretation is necessary. Tailored interventions are required for mitigating the burden of viral hepatitis in each province.
