ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a public health problem; therefore, we aimed to report HBV genotypes in Ceará, Brazil.METHODS:
A total of 103 HBsAg-positive samples were subjected to HBV genotyping and subgenotyping.RESULTS:
The following genetic compositions of samples were found F-54% (F2-83.33%), A-40% (A1-65%), D-6%, C2-1%, E-1%, and G-1%.CONCLUSIONS:
Some genotypes are only prevalent in certain parts of the world; however, the State of Ceará is a hub for migration and has one of the most important liver transplantation centers in Brazil, which can explain the prevalence of the F genotype.
