进行了一项横断面研究，以确定健康巴基斯坦儿童中甲型、B和丙型肝炎病毒的血清阳性率。对258名儿童进行了甲型肝炎IgG抗体检测，发现5岁以下儿童甲型肝炎IgG抗体阳性率为94%。甲型肝炎IgG抗体阳性率为55.8%，IgM抗体阳性率为5.3%。236例健康儿童血清中抗-HBVsAb阳性率为2.97%。同样，健康儿童的HCV抗体血清阳性率也很低，为0.44%。HAV是肝炎的主要原因，与低流行性的HBV和HCV相比。
A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Hepatitis A, B, and C virus in healthy Pakistani children. HAV IgG antibody was assayed in 258 subjects and it was found that 94% children by 5 years of age had HAV IgG-antibody. The overall seroprevalence of HAV IgG antibody was 55.8% and IgM 5.3%. HBVsAb levels assayed in 236 healthy children showed a seroprevalence of 2.97%. Similarly, HCV antibody seroprevalence was found to be a low 0.44% in healthy children. HAV is a major cause of Hepatitis, as compared to HBV and HCV which are of low endemicity.
