The highest infection rate (17.5%) was reported among the 11-15 years age group while the infection was less (14 %) among the 16-20 years age group, and lowest infection (11.
1%) was reported among the 5-10 years age group.
On the other hand, 20 blood samples out of 300 were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen which constitutes 6.
7 % prevalence rate.
The highest rate of hepatitis B surface antigen (10 %) was reported among the 16-20 years age group while the infection was less (6.
25 %) among the 11-15 years age group.
Out of 45 positive S.
mansoni cases, 11 were found positive with hepatitis B surface antigen which constitutes 24.
