Hepatitis B was the most studied, followed by hepatitis C. Hepatitis A seroprevalence in general population ranged from 33.3\u201367.8%. In vulnerable populations, highest seroprevalence was among incarcerated populations (88.1%), followed by immigrants (87.4%) and transgender individuals (75.6%). Hepatitis B presented HBsAg prevalence ranging from 0\u20137.5% in the general population, with the highest rates in an endemic Amazon region. Hepatitis C seroprevalence varied from 0.04\u20132.2% in the general population, with higher rates among people who use drugs (36.9%). Hepatitis D was predominantly reported in the Amazon region, with prevalence ranging from 0\u201323.9%. For hepatitis E, prevalence in the general population ranged from 0.9\u201359.4%, with the highest value in the South region.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Viral hepatitis in Brazil shows heterogeneous epidemiologic patterns across regions and populations, alongside unequal research output.
