Abstract
Hepatitis viral infections are one of major threat to public health worldwide. The vast majority of people infected with viral hepatitis are found in resources limited countries of Africa and Asia. There is a lack of accurate data to better determine the burden of this disease in Cameroon, moreover among vulnerable people. The aim of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV viruses among persons with disabilities (PwD) with or without HIV status.
