Abstract

Hepatitis B infection is an unpredictable disease that may incapacitate a person for weeks or months and lead to complications; most patients recover, However, 5 to 10 percent of persons who become infected with hepatitis B virus become chronic carriers capable of spreading the disease to others for an indefinite period of time. Accurate information about Hepatitis B infection (HBI) is important for prevention. This work presents a KAP study among primary health care physicians as regards hepatitis B infection and provides recommendations to policy makers on activities to be taken in relation to health providers. The results pointed out that the majority of the studied group (91.5%) understand the significance of the problem, but only (38.5%) identify that HB vaccine is efficient in disease prevention. Again one third (33.5%) of the studied group reported that they were vaccinated or have been immune to HBI.
