Abstract
The prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBs in a representative sample of 839 recruits from a cohort of 17-18 year-old males living in Barcelona has been determined by radioimmunoassay of eluates of finger-prick dried blood. It was 0.48% for HBsAg, and 3.22% for anti-HBs. All carriers of HBsAg were anti-HBe positive and had normal liver function tests. Half of them had antecedents suggestive of a materno-fetal acquisition of the infection. A relationship between educational level and the risk of infection was also demonstrated.Entities:
