Abstract

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the'hepatitis viruses that cause acute non-A, non-B hepatitis. This virus causes epidemics in developing countries and sporadic cases in developed countries.The prevalence of anti-HEV IgG is low in childhood, increasing with age. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of HEV infection in children in Zonguldak, Turkey. Immunoglobulin G antibodies against HEV were searched with ELISA in 284 children aged between 1 and 15 applying to the University Hospital in Zonguldak. Anti-HEV IgG prevalence was found to be 1.41% (4/284). This result is important as it shows that HEV can be one of the causes of sporadic hepatitis among children living in Zonguldak.

Özet

Hepatit E virüsü, akut non-A, non-B hepatitine neden olan hepatit virüslerindendir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde epidemilerle seyretmekte, gelişmiş ülkelerde ise sporadik olgular şeklinde gözlenmektedir. Anti-hepatit E virüsü (anti-HEV) IgG sıklığı çocukluk çağında düşük iken gençlerde ve orta yaş grubu erişkinlerde daha sık görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Zonguldak'taki çocuklarda anti-HEV IgG prevalansmi saptamak idi. Zonguldak'ta yaşayan ve Üniversite Hastanesi'ne başvuran 1-15 yaş grubu 284 çocukta hepatit E virüsüne karşı gelişen IgG antikor varlığı ELISA ile araştırıldı. Anti-HEV IgG sıklığı %1.41 (4/284) olarak bulundu. Sonuçlar, Zonguldak'ta yaşayan çocuklarda HEV'in akut sporadik hepatitlerin bir nedeni olabileceğini göstermesi açısından önemlidir.
