A review of published literature on the common problem of hepatitis B and C virus prevalence in Pakistan during the period of 1995 to 1999 is presented. During this period only 29 original articles on this subject were published in Pakistan. Out of these 29 studies, 10 were focused on healthy blood donors, 05 on health care personnel, 06 on general healthy and asymptomatic population, 04 on patients with some liver diseases and 04 on special high risk groups in the community. This review highlights the lack of community-based epidemiological work which found that number of subjects studied, other than healthy blood donors, appear very small and also there was a lack of representation from across the country.
