Abstract

Objective: Several studies have demonstrated that psychiatric patients are at increased risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections compared the general population. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of HBV, HCV and HIV infections among patients with schizophrenia in Elazığ Mental Health Hospital in Turkey. Materials and Methods: Screening tests for HBV, HCV and HIV have been routinely performed in patients with schizophrenia. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis B surface (anti-HBs), anti-HCV and anti-HIV tests were performed by the ELISA technique.Results: Four hundred and eighty-nine patients with schizophrenia in the mental health hospital were screened for HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV and anti-HIV. The study population was consisted of 409 male and 80 female patients. Overall seroprevalence was detected as 6.5% for HBsAg, 41.5% for anti-HBs and 0.2% for anti-HCV. All patients were found to be anti-HIV-negative. Conclusion: This study showed that the frequency of HBV, HCV and HIV infections among patients with schizophrenia was no higher than in the general population. Screening for blood-borne pathogens at the time of admission to the hospital is an important strategy to identify infected residents. Furthermore, hepatitis B vaccination schedule should be extended to include all the community.

Özet

Amaç: Birçok çalışma, genel popülasyon ile karşılaştırıldığında psikiyatri hastalarının hepatit B virüs (HBV), hepatit C virüs (HCV) ve insan immün yetmezlik virüsü (HİV) enfeksiyonları için artmış risk altında olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de Elazığ Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hastanesi'nde şizofreni hastalarında HBV, HCV ve HİV enfeksiyon sıklığını belirlemekti.Gereç ve Yöntemler: HBV, HCV ve HİV için tarama testleri, şizofreni hastalarında rutin olarak uygulanmıştır. Hepatit B'nin yüzey antijeni (HBsAg), anti hepatit B yüzey antikoru (anti-HBs), anti-HCV ve anti-HİV testleri, ELISA yöntemi ile çalışıldı.Bulgular: Ruh sağlığı hastanesindeki dört yüz seksen dokuz şizofreni hastası, HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV ve anti-HİV için tarandı. Hasta popülasyonu, 409 erkek ve 80 kadın hastadan oluştu. Genel seroprevalans, HBsAg için %6,5, anti-HBs için %41,5 ve anti-HCV için %0,2 olarak tespit edildi. Anti-HİV, tüm hastalarda negatif saptandı.Sonuç: Bu çalışma, şizofreni hastalarında HBV, HCV and HİV enfeksiyon sıklığının genel popülasyondan daha yüksek olmadığını göstermiştir. Hastaneye başvuru sırasında kan yoluyla bulaşan patojenler için tarama yapılması, enfekte bireyleri belirlemek için önemli bir stratejidir. Ayrıca, hepatit B aşılama programı tüm toplumu kapsayacak şekilde genişletilmelidir.
