Türk ve Mülteci Gebelerde HBsAg, Anti-HBs, Anti-HCV ve Anti-HIV Seropozitifliklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Yaş grupları arasındaki bu farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç: Türk gebe kadınlarda anti-HBs seropozitifliği mülteci gebelere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek oranda bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle özellikle mülteci gebeler için Hepatit B aşılama programları düzenli olarak takip edilmeli ve rutin tarama yapılmalıdır. Çalışmamızda düşük oranda anti-HCV pozitifliği saptanmış ve anti-HIV seropozitifliğine rastlanmamıştır. Ancak yine de bu enfeksiyonlar ülkemizde görülmeye devam ettiğinden ve önlem alındığında anneden bebeğe geçişin azalması sağlanacağından anti-HCV ve anti-HIV taramasına devam edilmelidir.

Comparison of hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-hepatitis B surface, and anti-hepatitis C virus prevalence in Syrian refugee pregnant women and Turkish pregnant women

“…According to Mutlu and Yılmaz, the prevalence of anti-HBs was reported to be 22.4 and 38.4% in Syrian and Turkish pregnant women, respectively. Conversely, in the study by Bahat et al 13 , 16 , the prevalence of anti-HBs was 11 and 26.3% in Syrian and Turkish pregnant women, respectively. As per data from previous studies, it is observed that the rate of vaccination of Turkish pregnant women against HBV is higher than Syrian pregnant women.…”

“…There are studies demonstrating that anti-HCV positivity is between 0.08 and 1.1% in different regions of our country 7,13,16,19 . In our study, anti-HCV positivity was significantly lower in Turkish pregnant women compared to Syrian refugee pregnant women (0.2 vs. 0.3%, p<0.05).…”

“…Considering the fact that studies are conducted in varied regions and refugee densities differ, such a result is expected. In a study conducted by Mutlu and Yılmaz in Düzce Province in 2019, comparing the prevalence of HBsAg in Turkish and refugee pregnant women, the prevalence of HBsAg was found to be 0.66% in Turkish pregnant women and 0.87% in the refugee pregnant women 13 . In the mentioned study, although HBsAg positivity in Syrian pregnant women was higher than in our study, it was reported that the positivity rate was not statistically significant.…”

“…In our study, the prevalence of HBsAg was found to be 0.9% in the Syrian refugee pregnant women and 1.1% in Turkish pregnant women (p<0.05). In studies conducted on pregnant women in different regions of our country, HBsAg seroprevalence was reported between 0.66 and 4.3% [7][8][9]13,16 . Similar to our study, in the study conducted by Bahat et al, the prevalence of HBsAg was found to be 1.8% in Turkish pregnant women and 1.1% in Syrian pregnant women 16 .…”

“…It has been reported that the prevalence is 0.4% in developed countries and 12.5% in Egypt 12 . Globally, the prevalence of HCV in pregnant women is 8%, and perinatal transmission in infants born to HCV-infected mothers ranges from 2.7 to 8.4% 13 .…”
