WITH approximately a 150% increase in Hepatitis B cases and a 100% increase in Hepatitis C cases, Telangana has witnessed a significant rise in viral hepatitis infections over the last three years.

According to the Factsheet 2021 on the seroprevalence (the level of a pathogen in a population) of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C by the National Programme for Surveillance of Viral Hepatitis (NPSVH) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH&FW), Telangana recorded the highest number of Hepatitis B infections in the country.

Dr Mithun Sharma, director of Hepatology and Regenerative Medicine and consultant in Transplant Hepatology at the Centre for Hepatology, AIG Hospitals, told TNIE that Hepatitis B infections are more prevalent than Hepatitis C. He emphasised that both infections remain leading causes of liver cancer in the country.

The NPSVH tested and analysed 1,45,912 dried blood spots (DBS) samples from the National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4), focusing on women aged 15-49 years and men aged 15-54 years across 11 groups of states and Union Territories. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were included in group 1.
