Abstract

In our screening project in first-generation Chinese migrants, antiviral treatment, strict follow-up because of high hepatitis B DNA levels and/or surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma were considered indicated in three of four analysed HBsAg-positive patients. These data show that detection of hepatitis B in Chinese migrants can have considerable impact on patient care.
