from a Hospital in South West Nigeria
Version: 3 Date: 22 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Amoako Duah
Reviewer's report:
This study seeks to determine the histology patient of young Nigerians with inactive HBV
infection not considered for treatment with current treatment guidelines available. The
manuscript is well written.
I would like the authors to consider these recommendations to enrich their manuscript, so that
it would be more impactful
• The authors should include average viral load of the participate and determines its correlation
with the histopathology findings.
• The authors should also consider the recently released WHO treatment guidelines and
determine how many of their patients would have been considered for treatment and would
not be described as having inactive HBV infection. And whether the new treatment guidelines
addressed those who will benefit from treatment but not being considered
• The authors should avoid using hepatitis B carriers. Active and inactive HBV infection should
be fine
