Abstract

The prevalence of IgG antibody to hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV) was studied among 300 secondary and high school adolescents between 12-18 years old, from different socioeconomic levels, in Sivas. The overall prevalence of hepatitis E virus antibody by ELISA method was found to be 12.3 percent. No relation was observed between seropositivity and age, sex, socioeconomic level or history of jaundice. Anti-HEV seropositivity, found to be higher than Turkey's mean values, may be a results of socioeconomic level and infrastructural Insufficiency.

Özet

Sivas'ta, sosyoekonomik düzeyleri farklı, ortaokul ve lise düzeyinde öğrenim gören 12-18 yaş grubu 300 adölesanda hepatit E virusuna karşı antikor (anti-HEV IgG) prevalansı ELISA yöntemiyle araştırıldı. Ortalama prevalans % 12.3 olarak bulundu. Cinsiyet, yaş, sosyoekonomik düzey ve sarılık öyküsü varlığı ile hepatit E arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. Türkiye ortalamasından yüksek bulduğumuz Anti-HEV IgG seropozitiflik değerine sosyoekonomik düzey ve alt yapı yetersizliği gibi faktörlerin etkili olabileceği düşünüldü.
