The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 2 billion people worldwide have already had contact with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and 373 million have become chronic carriers. Hepatitis B is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to a large number of deaths annually. Both viral factors and the host immune response have been implicated in the pathogenesis and clinical result of HBV infection. Many Brazilian cities, including the cities of the northern region of the state of Espírito Santo are located in regions with little health infrastructure. Our study performed an epidemiological analysis of cases of Hepatitis B in São Mateus, using methodology of Geographic Information System (GIS), aiming to raise the number of disease cases, establishing preventive measures to control the disease, improving the quality of life of people affected by this pathology. The city of São Mateus had the largest number of reported cases of hepatitis B northern region of Espírito Santo. The age group with the highest number of hepatitis B notifications was 20-49 years, mostly females. The major forms of contact with HBV in these cities were dental treatment, use of injectable medications, surgical procedures and multiple sexual partners.

ARTIGO/ARTICLEAs infecções causadas pelo vírus da hepatite B (VHB) e pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC) constituem grave problema de saúde pública mundial 9 . ABSTRACTHepatitis B and C continue to be important public health problems in Brazil. In this study, the prevalence of serological markers for hepatitis B and C in individuals from the State of Pará, attended at the Central Public Health Laboratory of Pará between January 2002 and December 2005, was determined. 11,282 tests to investigate HBsAg, 2,342 for anti-HBc and 5,542 for anti-HCV were performed. The prevalence of HBsAg was 3.6% and it was predominantly found in the age range of 20 to 29 years old, while anti-HBC was observed in 37.7% of the subjects. The prevalence of anti-hepatitis C virus was 3.6% and it was predominantly found in individuals over 50 years old. Thus, the frequencies of the markers found in Pará were higher than many other states in Brazil, hence suggesting that there is a need for public health measures of greater effectiveness for combating these illnesses in this region.Key-words: Hepatitis B. Hepatitis C. Serological markers. Prevalence. Infections.3 padrões: baixa (<1%), intermediária (1 a 5%) e alta (>5%) 5 . A soropositividade para o HBsAg e anti-HBc variam de região para região e em grupos populacionais específicos.A transmissão do VHB pode se dar horizontalmente através de contato com fluidos orgânicos contendo vírus, de modo especial com sangue, sêmen e saliva 9 . A maior prevalência está relacionada aos fatores de risco: hemodiálise, multitransfusões de sangue ou hemoderivados, manipulação de sangue humano, acidentes com materiais perfuro-cortantes, convivência íntima com infectados, uso de drogas ilícitas e contato com múltiplos parceiros sexuais 2 . A transmissão vertical ocorre através da passagem do vírus da mãe diretamente para o recém nascido no parto 14 . O vírus da hepatite C é transmitido essencialmente por contato com sangue,

“…A study carried out in São Paulo showed that convicts, individuals admitted to correctional facilities, injecting IDU and people tattooed with materials not properly sterilized contribute to the spread of Hepatitis B in our country (27) and another study carried out in Minas Gerais identified a relationship between HBV infection and the presence of tattoos (28) .…”

Objective: To identify hepatitis B vaccine use and risk behaviors among users of illicit drugs (IDU) in Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional field study was conducted by questionnaire with 49 users of illicit drugs who were receiving assistance through rehabilitation centers and support programs within the city. Results: A predominance of young men using non-injectable drugs was identified. A history of imprisonment, hepatitis, tattooing, multiple sexual partners and participation in all forms of sexual intercourse were the most common risk factors. Conclusion: These factors, combined with low vaccination rates and lack of completion of the recovery and support programs, confirm the vulnerability of users of IDUs for acquiring hepatitis B. Keywords: Hepatitis B virus; Illicit drugs; Vaccination RESUMOObjetivo: Identificar a cobertura vacinal contra a hepatite B e os comportamentos de risco entre usuários de drogas ilícidas (UDI) em Dourados-MS. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva de corte transversal realizada mediante aplicação de questionário em 49 usuários atendidos pelos centros de recuperação e programas de apoio desse Município. Resultados: Identificou-se predomínio de homens jovens que utilizavam drogas não injetáveis. A história de prisão, e de hepatite na família, tatuagens, múltiplos parceiros sexuais e realização de todas as formas de relação sexual, foram os fatores de risco mais frequentes. Conclusão: Estes fatores combinados com a baixa cobertura vacinal e a falta de término do esquema confirmam a vulnerabilidade do grupo em adquirir a hepatite B. Descritores: Vírus da hepatite B; Drogas ilícitas; Vacinação RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar la cobertura de vacunas contra la hepatitis B y los comportamientos de riesgo entre usuarios de drogas ilícidas (UDI) en Dourados-MS.
