Abstract

In Okayama prefecture we investigated by questionnaires whether hepatitis B virus (HBV) (n=549) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers (n=803) consulted a doctor after they had been informed of their infection at their initial checkup for viral hepatitis between 2002 and 2006. The ratio of patients who consulted a doctor after notification of infection was 38.4% (211/549) of HBV carriers and 49.4% (397/803) of HCV carriers, respectively. Among those patients, 53.1% of HBV carriers and 73.4% of HCV carriers were on follow care at the start of this investigation. These results indicated a need to establish a more effective follow up system for hepatitis virus carriers following notification at the initial medical checkup.<br>
