Prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis C and B virus infections in hemodialysis patients and their spouses: a multicenter study in Beijing, China.

abstract：:A nationwide hepatitis B vaccination program was launched in Taiwan in 1984. To study the impact of this ongoing program on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a follow-up seroepidemiologic study was carried out in 1989 in a Taipei district where pre-vaccination seroepidemiology had been studied. HBV markers were studi...
