dc.description.abstract | A random survey of hepatitis B antigen in a rural community in Kenya is reported. The results showed the development of antigenaemia during the third year of life. The highest prevalence was around 14 years and thereafter it gradually declined. The antigen was found significantly more frequently in males than in females. There was no evidence of an inherited tendency and no association with malaria. | en_US |
