Abstract

SUMMARY. In this study, we aimed to discuss the results of Imaginary Hepatitis B Epidemic, appeared by the effect of media between the end of 1997 and the beginning of 1998, reflected to our ELISA Laboratory. The results obtained from requests for hepatitis B screening tests (HBsAg and Anti-HBs) (between November 1996 and June 1998) were compared with that of one year before (between November 1996 and June 1997). Tests were performed by using Abbott AXSYM System. 140-170% increase in screening test requests was observed during this sanal epidemic. We also found that the cost of vaccination without performing screening tests (universal vaccination) were significantly higher than that of vaccination following screening tests.

Özet

ÖZET. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde 1997 sonu ile 1998 yılının ilk aylarında medyanın etkisiyle ortaya çıkan "Hepatit B Tehlikesi: Sanal Hepatit B Epidemisi"nin Uludağ Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Mikrobiyoloji ve Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı ELISA Laboratuvarı'na yansıyan sonuçlarını irdelemeyi amaçladık. Kasım 1997 ile Haziran 1998 tarihleri arasında hepatit tarama testleri (HBsAg ve Anti-HBs) isteğiyle laboratuvara gönderilen serumlarda elde edilen sonuçlar, bir yıl önceki dönemin (Kasım 1996-Haziran 1997) sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldı. Testler Abbott AXSYM sistemi ile çalışıldı. Tarama testlerinde % 140-170 oranında artış olduğu saptandı. Tetkik yapılmaksızın uygulanan (universal) aşılama maliyetinin, tetkik sonrası aşılamadan daha fazla olduğu hesaplandı.
