TODO - There is an obvious, significant, and diachronic reduction of the
prevalence of HBV infection in Greece, concerning the general population
as well as some traditionally high-risk groups, mainly as a result of
constant informing and the widespread initiation of preventive and
prophylactic measures, as well as the improvement of health care
services. Nevertheless, there are special groups and populations
(economical refugees, religious minorities, HIV-positive patients,
abroad pregnant women, prostitutes, etc.) who represent sacs of high HBV
endemicity and need epidemiological supervision and intervention, in
order to limit the spread of the infection and to further improve the
existing epidemiological data. Copyright (c) 2008 Konstantinos D.
