Viral hepatitis, caused by hepatitis viruses A through E, still remains a major public health problem in India. Since India has one-fifth of the world's population, it accounts for a large proportion of the worldwide HBV burden. India harbors 10–15% of the entire pool of HBV carriers of the world. It has been estimated that India has around 40 million HBV carriers. About 15–25% of HBsAg carriers are likely to suffer from cirrhosis and liver cancer and may die prematurely. Infections occurring during infancy and childhood have the greatest risk of becoming chronic. Of the 2.6 Crore (26 million) infants born every year in India, approximately 10 Lakhs (1 million) run the life-time risk of developing chronic HBV.
