This case-based article by Rashid M and Greenaway C, published in CMAJ (2013), provides practical clinical guidance on Hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and vaccination through a family case study from Nigeria. It addresses HBV serology interpretation, distinguishing between susceptible, immune, acute, and chronic infection statuses, and outlines vaccination protocols for non-immune patients and family screening approaches.
This resource is directly applicable to clinicians managing HBV in refugee populations.
