“…Several studies related to HBV have been carried out in Goiânia, Goiás in the general population and in risk groups, and it was observed that the rate of seroprevalence varies from 6.1% -urban female population (8) to 63.4% -dialysis center patients (4). In addition, studies from different groups of HCWs, found a seroprevalence of 23.4% in hospital workers (1), 23.1% in workers at hemodialysis centers (15) and 24.1% in laboratory workers (20).…”

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been considered the major occupational risk agent for dentists. The Central West region of Brazil is considered an intermediate endemic pattern area, but currently there is no information about the HBV prevalence in dentists of Goiânia, Goiás. This study aimed at the detection of the HBV infection rate and risk factors for dentists of Goiânia and the comparison of the obtained data with the general population and other groups. A randomized sample of 680 professionals participated in this study. All dentists gave written consent for the procedure and filled out a questionnaire about risk factors. The HBV serological markers were analyzed using ELISA test and the presence of anti-HBc was observed in 41 (6.0%) of the dentists. None of them was HBsAg positive. Significant relationships with HBV positivity were observed with gender, the time working as a dentist and the use of incomplete personal protective equipment (PPE). The HBV prevalence found in this group of dentists was lower than the endemic pattern of the general population, other health care workers of the region and the dentists from other regions in Brazil. These results may indicate a positive impact of vaccination considering the high adherence of the dentists to the immunization program (98.4%). Finally, the use of complete PPE by the majority as well as other standard precautions recommended for health care workers could be responsible for the low HBV seroprevalence.

“…The chronic cases affect about 1% of the population (3) . In the Mid-West region, studies carried out in Goias have demonstrated the prevalence for HBV infection markers, ranging from 6.1% in the female urban population (4) to 63.4% in renal chronic patients (5) . In Mato Grosso, a 31% index has been found in a rural community (6) and 37.1% in those that had contact with blood donors positive for HBsAg (7) .…”

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.
