Abstract

The study intended to detect HBV-HCV markers in puplic service persons and to prepare a vaccination program for them. Specimens for micro-ELISA test to detect HBsAg, anti-HBs, antiHBc IgG and antiHCV antibody markers in the Kocatepe University Hospital of Afyon by Diasorin commercial kits were drawn from 1,720 persons, 364 (21.2%) female, 1,356 (78.8%) male, age range 20-58 (mean 38.5+13.6). HBsAg, antiHBs and antiHBcIgG positivity were found to 9.4%, 19.6% and %20.7 in men and 6.0%, 15.3% and 17.0% in women, respectively. Only antiHBcIgG positivity was found to be 4.8% in men and 3.8% in women. There was no significant correlation between these two groups in respect to contact with HBV (p>0.05). Anti-HCV antibody was found to be positive 1.0% and 0.8% in men and women, respectively. As a measure, vaccination and prevention program is started according to individuals whose HBV infectivity status was determined by HBV markers.

Özet

Çalışmada, Afyon'da değişik kamu kuruluşlarında görev yapan personelde, Hepatit B Virüs (HBV) ve Hepatit C Virüs (HCV) belirleyicilerini saptayarak il merkezinde bu infeksiyonların görülme sıklığını belirlemede bir örneklem amaçlanmıştır. HBV ve HCV infeksiyonları; 364'ü (%21.2) kadın, 1,356 (%78.8) erkek, yaşları 20 ile 58 arasında (ortalama: 38.5±13.6) toplam 1,720 kamu görevlisinden alınan kanlarda HBsAg, antiHBs, antiHBc IgG ve antiHCV testleri mikroELISA yöntemi ile Diasorin ticari killeri kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. HBsAg, antiHBs ve antiHBc IgG sırasıyla erkeklerde %9.4, % 19.6 ve %20.7; kadınlarda %6.0, %15.3 ve %17.0 olarak saptanmış, cinsiyet gruplarına göre HBV ile temas açışından istatistiksel anlamlılık bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). İzole antiHBc 65 (%4.8) erkek, 14 (%3.8) kadın toplam 79 bireyde (% 4.6) pozitif, anti-HCV antikorları ise erkeklerde %1.0, kadınlarda % 0.8 oranında pozitif saptanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, HBV yönünden bağışıklama, HBV ve HCV infeksiyonları yönünden ise kontrol ve korunma eğitimleri planlanmıştır.
