TREAT-B Algorithm for Treatment Eligibility Among Chronically Infected Hepatitis B Virus Persons in a Low and a High Endemic Region: A Potential Strategy Towards Virus Elimination by 2030

TREAT-B Algorithm for Treatment Eligibility Among Chronically Infected Hepatitis B Virus Persons in a Low and a High Endemic Region: A Potential Strategy Towards Virus Elimination by 2030

BackgroundLittle is known about treatment eligibility in Africa for the hepatitis B virus (TREAT-B) algorithm. We investigated the treatment eligibility among the HBV chronically infected patients in a low and a high endemic region using the TREAT-B algorithm.MethodsWe recruited 227 treatment-naïve...
