• The auther studied the carrier rate of hepatitis B virus among Vietnamese refugees in Japan. 2428 subjects were investigated (male: female=1587: 841, Age range was between 9 month and 86 years of age). 316 of 2428 (13%) subjects were HBsAg positive. The positive rate of HBsAg in male and female is 243/1587 (15.3%) and 73/841 (8.8%), respectively. The positive rate of HBsAg in the group between 10 and 19 years of age (19.9%) is much higher than that in the group between 0 and 9 years (11%). It is speculated that intravenous drug using, prostitution, unsanitary medical care and bloodtransfusion without adequate screening test may cause transmission of HBV in addition to that between mother and child.<BR>In conclusion, this result may suggest that the prevalent rate of hepatitis B in Vietnam is about 13% in general population.
