Abstract
In this study the seoprevalance of HBsAg, antiHBs, and antiHBc were investigated in the sera of the 214 nurses working at the Selçuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. In one sample (0.5%) isolated antiHBc seropositivity was found, liver function tests and HBV-DNA was negative for this nurse and she was put into vaccination programme, one month after the vaccination anti HBs was found positive. Two of the nurses (0.9%) were found seropositive for both HBsAg and anti HBc, liver function tests were normal so these two nurses were considered as carrier. In 14 nurses anti HBs and anti HBc were found positive together and this condition was considered as remote hepatitis B infection. 194 Nurses who were negative for hepatitis B virus markers were put into vaccination programme.
