| Core Tip |
The widespread availability of the universal hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination reduced acute HBV incidence in developed countries. Acute HBV usually resolves with functional cure in > 95% of adults. In our study we evaluated all acute HBV cases in southern Israel between 2004-2022 and found a striking 34% chronicity rate. Further analysis revealed that a background of diabetes and low socioeconomic status were found to strongly predict chronic infection. These findings highlight the need for risk stratification in acute HBV patients from vulnerable populations. |
