在美国出生的亚洲和太平洋岛民（A/PI）中，慢性B型肝炎（HBV）的患病率尚不清楚。比较公立大学美国出生与A/PI出生学生的B型肝炎表面抗原（HBsAg）血清阳性率。自认为是A/PI的本科生。在145名美国出生的A/PI中，1.4%（C.I. = 0.0%，3.3%）检测为HBsAg阳性，而3.3%（C.I. = 0.5%，6.1%）。大约三分之一的学生不知道自己的乙肝疫苗接种状况。A/PI本科生（包括美国出生的）的HBsAg患病率显著高于美国主流人群（3-11倍）（0.3-0.5%），支持CDC对所有A/PI血统的人进行检测的建议，包括父母出生在HBsAg患病率≥ 8%的地区的美国出生的人。HBV疫苗接种状况的认识相对较低，疫苗接种并不能确保个人HBsAg阴性。
The prevalence of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) among college-age US-born Asian and Pacific Islanders (A/PI) is not well known. To compare the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seropositivity in US-born to A/PI-born students at a public university. Undergraduate who self-identified themselves as A/PI. Of 145 US-born A/PI, 1.4% (C.I. = 0.0%, 3.3%) tested positive for HBsAg compared to 3.3% (C.I. = 0.5%, 6.1%) of the 152 A/PI-born students. Approximately 1/3 of all students were unaware of their HBV vaccination status. HBsAg prevalence among A/PI undergraduates, including US-born, is considerably higher (3–11 times) than the mainstream US population (0.3–0.5%) and supports CDC recommendations for testing all persons of A/PI ancestry, including US-born persons whose parents were born in regions with HBsAg prevalence of ≥8%. Awareness of HBV vaccination status was relatively low and vaccination did not assure that individuals were HBsAg negative.
