Knowledge and Determinants of Hepatitis B Virus Testing and Vaccination Status among Sickle cell Disease Patients

Abstract: Background: Sickle cell anemia patients are a cohort of at-risk individuals for Hepatitis B virus infection due to their life-long dependency on transfusion therapy. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations stipulates testing and vaccination for at-risk individuals. Objective: The objectives of the present study are to assess the level of knowledge of sickle cell disease patients to HBV infection, identify their HBV vaccination status and to assess the barrier that prevents patients from being… Show more

“…Principle: The mindray autoanalyzer works by electrical impedance in which cells in suspension passes through a small aperture with electrical current, voltage pulses are generated, the number of which corresponds to the number of cells and the amplitude of the pulses is proportional to the cell size [11].…”
