The role of immigration in chronic hepatitis B and C in Asturias: origin and characteristics of the patients. An observational, cross-sectional study.
immigration plays a growing role in hepatitis B and C in our setting, making systematic screening in this population necessary. Although the impact of immigration is much greater in CHB than in CHC, immigrants with CHC present have a more advanced stage of liver fibrosis.
