“…Malatya'da (21) yapılan bir çalışmada seropozitiflik %9,8 olarak bildirilmiş, sosyoekonomik durumu iyi olan (merkezi kanalizasyon ve içme suyuna sahip şehir merkezinde oturan) grupta seropozitiflik %6,7 iken kötü olan grupta %13 olarak saptanmış ve bu fark anlamlı bulunmuştur. Erzurumda kan donörlerinde yapılan bir çalışmada seropozitiflik oranı %10 saptanmış yaş grupları ve cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir fark gözlenmemiştir (23). Gaziantep'den bildirilen bir çalışmada, anti-HEV IgG pozitifliği %11,2 tespit edilmiştir (3).…”

© Viral Hepatit Dergisi, Ga le nos Ya y› ne vi ta ra f›n dan ba s›l m›fl t›r. / Viral Hepatitis Journal, pub lis hed by Ga le nos Pub lis hing. ABS TRACTObjective: Hepatitis A is the most common form of acute viral hepatitis in the world. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) clinical presentations range from asymptomatic infection to fulminant hepatitis which is frequently seen in pregnant women. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of hepatitis A and E transmitted fecal oral in adult population admitted to the hospital. Materials and Methods: It were retrospectively evaluated to test results of the patients admitted to the hospital for various reasons and requested to anti-HAV IgG and anti-HAV IgM, anti-HEV IgG and anti-HEV IgM assay between January December. It was studied by Advia Centaur XP Bayer-Siemens (Germany). Results: It was found as %85.2 (3310/3887) to Anti-HAV IgG seropositivity, %0.51 (20/3887) to Anti-HAV IgM seropositivity, %6.7 (18/270) Anti-HEV IgG seropositivity, %0.7 (2/270) Anti-HEV IgM seropositivity. HAV seropositive patients was admitted 42% to infectious diseases, 22.4% to internal medicine, 25.8 % to other internal branchs, 3.4% to general surgery, 4.5% other surgical branches and 1,9% to emergency service, respectively. HEV seropositive patients was admitted 39% to infectious diseases, 33% to general surgery, 17% to gastroenterology clinics, respectively. Conclusion: In this study was found to Anti-HAV IgG seropositivity was lower than the average of our country and Anti-HEV IgG seropositivity average country in adults. Protection from infection which transmitted fecal-oral rout, especially the beginning of HEV infections; cause of high mortality in pregnant, training, sanitation precautions and environmental hygiene must be actually considered. GirişHepatit A virus (HAV) ve Hepatit E virus (HEV) primer olarak fekal oral yolla bulaşırlar (1). Virus kontamine gıda ve sular veya süt alımı sonrası kolayca bulaşabilmektedir (2). HAV, HEV'e göre daha dayanıklı olmakla birlikte dezenfektanlara ve ısıya karşı dirençli olduğundan bulaşıcılığı yüksektir. Her iki virus da genellikle akut, kişinin kendisiyle sınırlı, uzun süreli taşıyıcılık oluşturmayan enfeksiyonlara neden olurlar (1). Taşıyıcılık söz konusu olmamasına rağmen enfekte bireylerin dışkısında altı aydan uzun süreyle virus bulunabilmesi, uygunsuz sanitasyon koşullarında enfeksiyonun yayılmasında en önemli kaynağı oluşturmaktadır (3).

Aim: Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) and its potential zoonotic role in occupational groups that come into direct contact with domestic ruminants and chickens. Materials & methods: The seroprevalence of the HEV IgG antibody was determined on 92 samples using a commercial ELISA test kit. Results: The overall rate of HEV-IgG seroprevalence in the risk group was 35.9%. The control group seroprevalence was found to be 4.4%. Conclusion: HEV infection is a potential occupational hazard for people who work in jobs directly related to animals, with the exception of veterinarians, who use protective equipments to prevent the infection. Further studies should be performed with increased observation of specific risk groups in order to understand the local epidemiology and guide vaccination strategies.
