Title: Liver histology pattern of young patients with inactive chronic hepatitis B virus infection
from a Hospital in South West Nigeria
Version: 3 Date: 10 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Alassan Kouamé Mahassadi
Reviewer's report:
the manuscript lacks novelty and has some errors in defining the inactive carriers of chronic
hepatitis B infection.
Any  gap in knowledge provided by the authors in the African context that could support the
relevance of their study
with the baseline characteristics, some patients could not be classified as inactive carriers which
jeopardized the definition.
Authors have to use the new definition of the inactive or asymptomatic carrier of chronic
hepatitis B instead of the old one which is abandoned
