The average age was 33.98 years (ranging 19–68). The most frequent countries of origin were: Mali (12; 30%) and Guinea Bissau (10; 25%). Seventeen patients (42.5%) recognized hepatitis B risk factors, such as punctures (12; 30%) or high-risk sexual relations (8; 20%). Even though a normal abdominal echography does not rule out possible hepatopathy, echography was done on 16 patients for reasons not concerning this study, without signs of hepatopathy. The DNA HBV study, both using the PCR method (nested PCR, HBsAg-Pol region) applied to all 40 patients, as well as the RT-PCR method applied to 16 of them, turned out to be negative for the entirety of the subjects included in the study.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The fact that no OHB cases were detected among the subjects participating in this study contrasts with other studies also conducted on immigrant populations, where the prevalence of this disease ranges between 3 and 4.5%.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3–5</span></a> A possible explanation accounting for these results might be the fact that that these studies included patients infected by HIV. Besides, the Chadwick et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> study also included patients with high transaminase levels.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In Spain, we have found 4 OHB studies, but the characteristics of the subjects included in those studies differ from those of the subjects participating in this study.

Raimondo et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> noticed an OHB prevalence of 16.3% in Italian patients with similar characteristics to those in this study, although the HBV DNA detection was done directly from hepatic tissue samples.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The importance of this study resides in the fact that Spain barely has specific studies concerning OHB among immigrants, despite the fact that many of them come from areas with a high HBV infection endemicity, such as, in our case, Sub-Saharan Africa. The presence of a high prevalence of this disease in our means could suppose, in addition to a public health problem, an overload of costs for the National System of Health.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our study has been conceived as a preliminary approach to the disease in this population group. The main limitation observed is the small size of the study group. Other limitations are the fact that the HBV DNA detection was completed only in peripheral blood and not in liver tissue, and that the ultrasensitive PCR (RT-PC) could only be conducted in 16 patients.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Assessing the results obtained, we could safely conclude that in our region, the OHB study conducted on African immigrant subjects with positive AcHBc as their only hepatitis B marker and without hepatopathy data, does not seem to be cost-effective, thus we discourage routine screening.
