“…In a study performed using the cluster sampling method in Diyarbakır, Batman, Mardin and Şanlıurfa provinces, which are geographically close to Tunceli, HBsAg positivity was found to be 7% [27]. The HBsAg positivity rates were found to be 10% in Siirt [28], 12.6% in Batman [29], 4.5% in Bitlis and Tatvan [30] and 10.4% in a study in the Training and Research Hospital of Diyarbakır [26]. The HBsAg seropositivity rate found in the current study is observed to be lower compared to the country average as well as to the findings from other geographically close provinces.…”

SUMMARYObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalance of the Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) viruses among patients living in Tunceli province who had been admitted to the Tunceli State Hospital. Method: The seropositivity rates of hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg, n:3640), antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs, n:3941) and HCV antibodies (anti-HCV, n:3489) were retrospectively studied at the Tunceli StateHospital for the period between July 2013 and January 2015. Data was collected from the database of Tunceli State Hospital and analyzed using SPSS 15.00. Results:A total of 3640 patients tested for HBsAg were included in this study. 154 patients (4.23 %) were found HBsAg positive. 33 (0.94 %) of 3489 patients were found anti-HCV positive and 1829 (46.41%) of 3941 patients were found anti-HBs positive. Conclusions:While an earlier study had produced similar results to the current study in Tunceli province, the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV are still high. Therefore, community awareness should be raised through health education about transmission and prevention of HBVand HCV infections. Keywords: Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Seroprevalence

Abstract: Objective: Viral hepatitis is liver inflammation due to a viral infection affecting millions of people worldwide and causing thousands of deaths because of acute and persistent infection, liver cancer and cirrhosis. This study is aimed to compare datas of the seroprevalence of markers for viral hepatitis A, B, C among 18-25 age group between the two University Hospitals from east and west zone of Turkey. Material and methods: A retrospective study of patients admitted to the ………..Medical Faculty and …….. University Health Practice and Research Hospital between 01.01.2022 and 01.07.2022, a total of 562 individuals with ages ranging from 18 to 25 years, who were tested for the presence of serological markers to hepatitis virus types A to C and HIV using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results: Anti-HAV IgG positivity was 25.5% and 40.3% for Çanakkale and Kahramanmaraş, respectively. Anti-HBs positivity was found to be 74.5% and 75.4% for Çanakkale and Kahramanmaraş, which were similar to each other. HBsAg positivity was detected as 1.5% in Çanakkale and 0.8% in Kahramanmaraş. Anti HCV was found to be positive in one (0.5%) patient in Çanakkale and in four (1.1%) patients in Kahramanmaraş. Conclusion: Due to the low anti-HAV seropositivity rates in the 18-25 age group, this makes this group more risky in terms of HAV infection. Especially due to the anti-HAV positivity in Çanakkale is low compared to Kahramanmaraş, it is recommended to support vaccination in this region. Since healthcare workers are at risk of having and transmitting hepatitis, it was found to be appropriate getting prevention measures by screening against vaccine-preventable diseases.
