At the beginning of the study, 45 % (n=27) of the leukemic patients were immune for hepatitis B, but after completion of the intensive chemotherapy seropositivity persisted in only 28.8 % (n=17).Conclusion: Transmission of these viruses is no longer a real problem even in multitransfused immunosuppressed children in Pediatric Hematology Units as a result of the improvements in screening of voluntary blood donors, administration of disposable material in clinics and vaccination by hepatitis B.

Abstract

Objective: Transfusion transmitted hepatitis has been a severe problem in Turkey in pediatric cancer patients and in chronic congenital anemia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus infections in these patients in a University Hospital.Material and Methods: Multi-transfused 66 children (59 acute leukemia, 6 thalassemia major, 1 severe hereditary spherocytosis) diagnosed and followed-up between May, 2000 and December, 2006 were evaluated. Screening of all the patients for HbsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, anti-HCV and anti-HIV was performed at presentation and during the last follow-up. Serologic studies of leukemic patients were also repeated at the end of the chemotherapy. Hepatitis B vaccination was administered to unvaccinated patients with anemia. All blood products were provided by Blood Bank of the Center.Results: No patient was found HBsAg, anti-HCV or anti-HIV positive at diagnosis and at the end of the therapy. There was history of hepatitis B vaccination in only 42% of the patients at diagnosis due to administration of this vaccine to newborns since 1998. At the beginning of the study, 45 % (n=27) of the leukemic patients were immune for hepatitis B, but after completion of the intensive chemotherapy seropositivity persisted in only 28.8 % (n=17).Conclusion: Transmission of these viruses is no longer a real problem even in multitransfused immunosuppressed children in Pediatric Hematology Units as a result of the improvements in screening of voluntary blood donors, administration of disposable material in clinics and vaccination by hepatitis B.

Özet

Amaç: Transfüzyon ile bulaşan hastalıklar kanserli ve kronik konjenital anemili çocuklarda ciddi problem oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı hepatit B, hepatit C ve insan immün yetersizlik virusu sıklığını bir üniversite hastanesinde tedavi gören bu grup hastada belirlemektir.Yöntem ve Gereçler: Mayıs 2000-Aralık 2006 döneminde çok sayıda transfüzyon almış 66 çocuk (59 akut lösemi, 6 talasemi major, 1 ağır herediter sferositoz) değerlendirildi. HbsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, anti-HCV and anti-HIV taraması tanı ve son takipte gerçekleştirildi. Lösemili hastalarda kemoterapi bitiminde seroloji tekrarlandı. Anemili hastalar aşılanmamışsa Hepatit B aşısı tanı sırasında yapıldı. Tüm kan ürünleri hastane kan bankasından sağlandı.Bulgular: Tanı sırasında ve tedavi bitiminde hastaların hiçbirinde HBsAg, anti-HCV veya anti-HIV pozitif değildi. Tanı sırasında hastaların %42 sinde 1998 sonrasında başlayan yenidoğan aşılama programı ile ilişkili olarak hepatit B aşısı öyküsü vardı. Çalışma başlangıcında lösemili hastaların %45 i (n=27) hepatit B için immün idi fakat yoğun kemoterapi tamamlandığında seropozitiflik hastaların sadece %28,8 (n=17) inde devam etti.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak gönüllü kan vericilerinin serolojik taramalarındaki iyileşme, kliniklerde tek kullanımlık malzemelerin tüketimi ve hepatit B aşılaması sonucu Çocuk Hematoloji Ünitelerinde çok sayıda transfüzyon alan immündeprese hastalarda dahi transfüzyonla bulaş artık önemli bir problem oluşturmamaktadır.
