Abstract: Trata-se de parte de uma pesquisa sobre a soroprevalência e fatores de risco para as doenças infecciosas triadas pelos bancos de sangue, com o objetivo de discutir as implicações metodológicas na interpretação dos estudos seccionais realizados em bancos de sangue para estimativa da prevalência populacional para a infecção pelo Virus da Hepatite B (VHB). De outubro de 1988 a fevereiro de 1989, 1.033 primodoadores de sangue, de 5 dos 8 bancos de sangue da cidade de Goiânia - GO, Brasil, foram entrevistados. Uma … Show more

“…Some reports have shown the detection of the HBV-DNA by PCR in individuals positive for anti-HBc total/ anti-HBs, and even in individuals without any serological marker for the infection 15,35,41 and some explanations have been proposed to elucidate this condition 5,18,19,43 . In any case, this fact supports the importance of screening by anti-HBc at the blood banks from all areas of the world and point out the requirement of improving the screening methods used for viral detection 10,15,25,35 .…”

Outros estudos também realizados no Brasil mostraram taxas altas de prevalência para hepatite B em profissionais de hemodiálise 8 9 .…”

“…However, there is no report of increased prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma in teenagers in these states, had not been identified in previous studies. The great majority of hepatitis B prevalence studies in the Northeastern Region have been based on the assessment of blood banks, which tends to underestimate the prevalence of this infection [52,53], A fact that reinforces the latter hypothesis.…”
