    Abstract:
    Serum samples taken from 370 healthy individuals (aged 15-44) constituting a randomized sample representative of the adult population of the town of Nkongsamba, Cameroon, were tested for Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBs); positive samples were then tested for Hepatitis B virus [e] antigen (HBe) and anti-Delta antibody. The mean carrier rate of HBs was 8.4% +/- 2.8%; within HBs carriers, 29% exhibited HBe and 6.5% anti-Delta antibody.
