Core Tip Chronic hepatitis B has a significant public health impact in the Philippines because it is a common cause of end stage liver disease and is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma, the latter being the fourth leading cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in the country. However, an accurate estimate of the national prevalence of hepatitis B infection in the Philippines is lacking. To determine the national prevalence of hepatitis B infection in the Philippines, testing for hepatitis B surface antigen was undertaken on serum samples collected from subjects included in the National Nutrition and Health Survey.
