There are limited studies on the frequency of other sexually transmitted diseases in patients with anogenital warts (AGWs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the frequency of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in patients with AGWs. Material and Methods: The data of the patients with AGWs, who applied to our dermatology outpatient clinic between January 2015 and December 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. Serological test results for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and HIV infections of patients with AGWs were evaluated. Results: Of 765 patients with AGWs, 541 were male and 224 were female. Among 313 patients who underwent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing, HBsAg positivity was detected in 5 (1.6%) patients. Hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV) positivity was detected in 4 (1.2%) of 324 patients who underwent anti-HCV testing. Four (1.3%) of 298 patients who underwent rapid plasma reagin (RPR) for syphilis were positive (RPR titers 1/2, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/128). Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) test was negative in 2 patients. The diagnosis of syphilis was confirmed by TPHA test in 2 patients whose RPR titers were 1/16 and 1/128. Among 344 patients who underwent HIV antibody (anti-HIV) testing, anti-HIV positivity was detected in 16 (4.7%) patients. It was later uncovered that 13 of 16 patients were HIV-infected patients who had been already followed by infectious diseases specialists. Confirmation test for HIV infection was negative in 2 patients and positive in 1 patient. As a result, 14 HIV-positive patients were detected. Conclusion: The patients with AGWs should be evaluated for other sexually transmitted diseases, especially syphilis and HIV infection.

Aims: Infections transmitted through blood and blood product transfusions are one of the most important health problems today. In Turkey; Microbiological screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and HIV infections is mandatory for each unit of blood and blood components prepared for transfusion, regardless of the time between donations. In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV and syphilis in blood donors who applied to our Blood Center and to compare them with the prevalences in other regions of Turkey. Material and Method: The study was conducted between January 2016 and June 2022 and included 68195 donors. Screenings for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and syphilis tests were performed with commercial kits using the Electro-Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) principle. Positive results were confirmed by validation studies. Results: As a result of screening, 279 (0.4%) of 68195 donors tested positive for HBsAg, 56 (0.08%) for anti-HCV, 25 for anti-HIV (0.03%) and 197 (0.28%) for syphilis. Of the total donors, 2129 (3.1%) were volunteers and 66,066 (97%) were non-volunteer relatives. In total, 0.8% of the donors were positive for screening. Conclusion: The significant (0.8%) positivity detected in the HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and syphilis tests of the donors showed that blood transfusion screening tests were vital. In addition, considering the window period of infections and the pre-seroconversion period, it was concluded that there is a need for methods with high sensitivity and solutions such as avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
