Abstract
Hepatitis virus infection poses a significant global health threat with various transmission routes, including sexual activity, intravenous contact, and mother-to-child transmission during delivery. Early infection may lead to chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This study investigates the epidemiology of Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV), considering demographic, geographic, and acquisition method variables. Analyzing hospital and health department visits in Fallujah from 2018 to 2021, 179 cases were identified. The research aims to pinpoint virus cases, identify susceptible age groups by location, gender, and infection type, and propose disease control methods in Fallujah. Results indicate 78.7% of positive cases were males, with higher prevalence in specific months and age groups (15-34 years old). This study contributes valuable insights for targeted intervention strategies.
