Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health problem. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at high risk of HBV infection. The aim of this review was to summarize HBV seroprevalence in HCWs in Yemen. Electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Google) had been used to search for studies on HBV seroprevalence in HCWs in Yemen. Among 1119 HCWS seem in this review, 78 (6.97%) were seropositive for HBV infection. HBV infection correlated significantly with HCWs. HCWs (2.76%-21.4%) infected with HBV. HCWs in Yemen are considered at moderate to high risk of HBV infection according to WHO classification. The prevalence of HBV infection in recent years decreased compared with that published during 2001-2004.
