Prevalence of total hepatitis A antibody among 5 to 7 years old children and their mothers in Cambodia

Abstract This study determined the prevalence of total hepatitis A antibody (anti-HAV) among 5–7 years old children and their mothers in the whole Cambodia, using a nationwide study, and examined the differences between the two cohorts. A total of 4535 dried blood spot-driven (DBS) samples (2021 mot...
