Özet

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the seroprevalenceof hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), andhuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in patients undergoingtonsillectomy.Patients and Methods: Between January 2012 and December2018, a total of 751 patients (389 males, 362 females; meanage 27 years; range, 12 to 58 years) who underwent bilateraltonsillectomy under general anesthesia in our clinic wereretrospectively analyzed. The seropositivity of hepatitis Bsurface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HCV, and anti-HIV wasinvestigated in all patients.Results: Positive serology for HBsAg was detected in12 patients (1.5%) including eight males (1%) and four females(0.5%). Two male patients (0.2%) and two male patients(0.2%) had anti-HCV positivity and anti-HIV positivity,respectively. According to the age groups (≤18 vs. >18 years), allserology-positive patients were >18 years of age.Conclusion: Testing of the HBV, HCV, and HIV serology isnecessary for tonsillectomy patients preoperatively, particularlythose who are older than 18 years and males. All otolaryngologistsshould be aware of transmission via occupational exposure andmust take necessary precautions to protect themselves againstcontamination by wearing a mask or goggles, particularly whileperforming such operations.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada tonsillektomi yapılan hastalarda hepatit B virüsü (HBV), hepatit C virüsü (HCV) ve insan immün yetmezlik virüsü (HIV) seroprevalansı araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2012 - Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde genel anestezi altında iki taraflı tonsillektomi yapılan toplam 751 hasta (389 erkek, 362 kadın; ort. yaş 27 yıl; dağılım, 12-58 yıl) retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm hastalarda hepatit B yüzey antijeni (HBsAg), anti-HCV ve anti-HIV seropozitifliği araştırıldı. Bulgular: Sekizi erkek (%1) ve dördü kadın (%0.5) olmak üzere 12 hastada HBsAg seroloji pozitifliği tespit edildi. İki erkek hastada (%0.2) anti-HCV pozitifliği ve iki erkek hastada (%0.2) anti-HIV pozitifliği izlendi. Yaş gruplarına göre (≤18 yaşa kıyasla >18 yaş), seroloji pozitifliği olan hastaların tümü >18 yaşında idi. Sonuç: Tonsillektomi öncesi, özellikle 18 yaş üzerindeki ve erkek hastalarda, ameliyat öncesi HBV, HCV ve HIV seroloji testi gereklidir. Kulak, burun, boğaz hekimleri mesleki maruziyet ile bulaş riski açısından dikkatli olmalı ve özellikle bu tür ameliyatları yaparken maske veya gözlük takarak bulaşa karşı kendilerini korumak amacıyla gerekli tedbirleri almalıdır.
