  • Title: Prevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections in children infected with HIV.
    Author: Toussi SS, Abadi J, Rosenberg M, Levanon D.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2007 Sep 15; 45(6):795-8. PubMed ID: 17712766.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated the prevalence and transmission mode of hepatitis B and C in an inner-city, pediatric cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons, as well as the demographic characteristics of the cohort. Hepatitis B or C was found in 13 (5.8%) of 228 children. This analysis suggests that chronic hepatitis is prevalent and should be routinely screened for in the pediatric HIV-infected population.
