Abstract: This study has shown 72.2% serum prevalence for anti-HBs. The prevalence of Hepatitis-B infection among anesthesiologists was 8.9%, represented by 8 anti-HBc +/anti-HBs +. Based on these results, vaccination campaigns and successful prevention should be intensified.

“…The overall prevalence of infection was 6.5% higher in comparison to studies involving healthy military personnel in Peru (0.58%) 12 and firefighters in England (0.42% in Gloucestershire 13 and 0.6% in Yorkshire 14 ), this being similar to a study of American firefighters (7.8%) 15 . When compared to research involving other professionals exposed to the risk of occupational HBV infection, the overall prevalence of infection found in this study was similar to that of anesthetists (8.9%) 16 and lower than that of dentists (10,8%) 6 , laboratory workers (24.1%) 8 and primary care professionals (11.1%) 5 . In comparison to a recent study of Brazilian blood donors, firefighters had a similar infection rate: donors in Central Brazil presented a prevalence of HBV infection of 5.3% 17 .…”
