“…In the study performed by İnci and Günaydın, 56 chronic urticaria cases were examined, 21 patients had anti-HBs positivity and 2 patients had HBsAg positivity. However, none of the patients had anti-HCV positivity (Inci and Gunaydın, 2015). Anti-HCV antibody positivity was found in 4 of 55 chronic urticaria patients in the study of Arinkal et al (Arinkal et al, 2001).…”

“…In recent years, it has been suggested that viral hepatitis may be associated with many other autoimmune diseases such as mixed cryoglobulinemia, polyarteritis nodosa and Sjögren syndrome, other than liver findings. In addition, hepatitis C virus can be associated with many dermatological diseases such as pruritus, porphyria kutanea tarda, vasculitis, salivary gland lesions, lichen planus, necrolitic acral erythema (Balik, 1994a;Çakaloğlu, 1994b;Gül and Çevik, 1998;Bilen et al, 1999;Oztas et al, 2007;Inci and Gunaydın, 2015).…”

“…In patients with acute urticaria, it is easier to determine the causative agent and often food and drugs are responsible, but 40% of chronic urticaria cases cannot be detected. However, factors that play a role in the etiology of chronic urticaria include drugs, autoimmune diseases, infections, foods and psychogenic factors (Kaya and Akyol, 1999;Ozdemir and Yazıcıoglu, 2012;Inci and Gunaydın, 2015;Sarac et al, 2018).…”

“…Although the relationship between chronic urticaria and hepatitis has been known for a long time, the pathogenesis has not been fully understood. The accused mechanisms are the formation of degranulation of mast cells in the circulating antigens and complement activation via immune complexes (Inci and Gunaydın, 2015). Although there are cases in the literature where acute urticaria has been reported as the first sign of HIV infection, the frequency of chronic spontaneous urticaria in HIV-infected patients is not fully known (Iemoli et al, 2017).…”

Objective: Many factors are responsible for the etiology of chronic urticaria. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between chronic urticaria and hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods: The study included patients with chronic urticaria who were admitted to our dermatology outpatient clinic between July 2018 and January 2019. Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus antibody (anti-HIV) were recorded retrospectively. Results: A total of 57 patients were included in the study. Of the 57 patients, 38 (66.7%) were female and 19 (33.3%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 41.2 ± 13.5 (minimum / maximum: 19-74). In thirtytwo patients (56.1%), anti-HBs positivity was detected and in 25 (43.9%) negative. None of the patients had HBsAg positivity and HCV antibody positivity. Even though HIV antibody positivity was detected in one patient, the result of the validation test was reported as negative. Conslusion: In our study, no relation was found between chronic urticaria and hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. However, in patients with chronic urticaria, we think that there are more cases and multicenter studies to get an idea of whether screening for hepatitis and HIV should be done routinely.

“…[8,9] In recent studies conducted in Turkey, HBsAg seroprevalence was found between 0.3-4.0%, and Anti-HCV seroprevalence between 0.3-1.3%, respectively. [3,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] HBsAg and Anti-HCV seroprevalence was 2.5% and 0.9% in oncology patients and 1.0% and 0.8% in patients admitted at the outpatient clinics of family physicians in a tertiary care hospital in Karabük. [4,7] HBsAg and Anti-HCV reactivities were 1.5% and 0.1% in the preoperative evaluation of the patients in a private hospital in Van.…”

ABSTRACT Aim: Viral hepatitis agents include Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus, which cause an important public health problem due to serious complications. Patients examined at the outpatient clinics of internal medicine are among main risk groups, as they have concomitant diseases and undergo various procedures. We aimed to investigate retrospectively the seroprevalence of viral hepatitis in outpatients in internal medicine in our region. Material and Methods: HBsAg and Anti-HCV parameters, and demographic data such as age and gender of patients admitted at the outpatient clinics of internal medicine at our hospital between January 2017 and July 2022 were retrospectively evaluated, with HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA levels of those who showed reactivity. Results: HBsAg test results of 2618 patients and Anti-HCV test results of 2943 patients were obtained in this study. The mean age of patients with HBsAg tests was 34.2±15.7, and mean age of patients with Anti-HCV test was 34.3±15.7 years. HBsAg reactivity rate was 0.9%; and the mean age of patients showing reactivity was 47.7±14.4 years. Anti-HCV reactivity rate was %0.1, with a mean age of 52.6±21.3 years. Both HBsAg and Anti-HCV reactivity was not present at the same patient in our study. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses decrease the risk of developing complications, easing treatment processes and decreasing the risk of contagion. Thus, increasing use of screening tests as part of preventive medicine is very important.
