“…[1] It is known that approximately 2 billion people in the world today have been infected with HBV, and another 210 million people have been infected with HCV. [1,2] Both forms of hepatitis cause significant morbidity and mortality and result in great economic losses. However, their epidemiology has not been fully clarified and prevalence varies among countries and societies.…”

Her hakk sakl d r. © Medical Journal of TrakyaObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV and related risk factors in Sanliurfa, a province of southeastern Anatolia. Material and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted between April and May, 2008 in Sanliurfa's city center. A community-based representative sample (N=1070) was randomly selected using cluster sampling from the catchment areas served by 19 different primary healthcare centers. A questionnaire evaluating demographic information and probable risk factors for HBV and HCV was administered, and HBsAg and anti-HCV markers were analyzed from blood samples.Results: Among the 1070 individuals who participated in the study, 33.1% were male (n=354) and 66.9% female (n=716). The average age was 35.4±13.5 (15-90) years. The seroprevalence of HBsAg positivity was 4.2% (n=45), while anti-HCV seropositivity was found to be 1.0% (n=11). Among participants who previously suffered a known hepatitis infection or who reported a family history of hepatitis, the HBsAg positivity was found to be higher (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between HCV transmission risk factors and anti-HCV positivity.Conclusion: This is the first hepatitis seroprevalence study in central Sanliurfa and demonstrated moderate HBV infection endemicity.

ÖzAmaç: Bu çalışmada, ilimizde kronik viral hepatit tanılı hastalarda HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA ve HDV-RNA pozitifliğinin araştırılması ve elde edilen pozitif sonuçların birlikteliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Conclusions:In the study two samples were found to be positive for both HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA, four sera was found to be positive for both HBV-DNA and HDV-RNA while no sample was found to be positive for all three infections (HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA ve HDV-RNA).

ABS TRACTObjective: The risk of occupational exposure to blood borne pathogens (hepatitis B and hepatitis C) via sharp injuries such as needle stick injuries among health care workers, especially dental, nursing and midwifery students is a challenging issue. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the hepatitis B and hepatitis C seroprevelances of students in Bozok University High School of Health, to investigate the level of conscious on this issue and also to determine nonimmunised students and to vaccine them. Materials and Methods:In our study, a questionnaire form was applied to students of Bozok University High School of Health between February 2013-April 2013 and answers were evaluated with their HBsAg, Anti-Hbs, Anti-HBcIgG and Anti-HCV results. Results:One hundred and forty two students were included to the study. 80 (56.3%) students were studying at 1st class, 42 (29.6%) students were at 2 nd class, 9 (6.3%) were at 3 rd . Class and 11 (%7.8) were at 4 th . class. 115 (81%) students were female, 27 (19%) students were male, mean age was 20. 1±1.8 (18-25). Two (1.4%) students were HBsAg positive,127 (89.4%) students were anti-HBs positive and nine (6.3%) students were anti-HBcIgG positive. Anti-HCV was negative in all students. Two (28.6%) of seven students' anti-HbcIgG values were positive who were exposured jaundice during childhood (p=0.013). Two of nine students' HBsAg positivity remained whose anti-HBcIgG value were positive, seven of these nine students Anti-HBs values became positive. 120 (94.5%) of 127 Anti-HBs positive students had been acquired immunization by vaccine. 13 (9.2%) students were taken into vaccine program whose HBsAg, Anti-HBcIgG and Anti-Hbs values were negative.
