Abstract: Background: Iran has been known as an area with low-intermediate prevalence for the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Objectives: This cross-sectional study was performed to assess the prevalence of serological markers and the potential risk factors of HBV infection among people who referred to the

Background The three doses constituting the hepatitis B (HB) vaccine series administered intramuscularly at birth, 1 month, and 6 months induce a protective antibody response (anti-HBs >10 IU/l) in more than 90% of recipients. Aim To analyze the long-term immunity and effectiveness of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination and to detect hepatitis B infection situation and its risk factors among an adequate number of the university students in the postcompulsory infant vaccination period. Patients and methods A total of 400 university students (aged 17–25 years) were screened for quantitative detection of hepatitis B surface antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag), and total hepatitis B core antibody (HBc Ab) using commercially available kits. HBV DNA PCR was evaluated in repeatedly positive HBs Ag and/or total HBc Ab. Results Nonprotective titer less than 10 IU/l was detected in 218/400 (54.5%), whereas protective titer more than or equal to 10 IU/l was detected in 182/400 (45.5%). Overall, 29/400 (7.3%) were positive for HBs Ag and 50/400 (12.5%) were positive for total HBc Ab, whereas only six (1.5%) were positive for HBV DNA PCR. Moreover, 45/400 (11.4%) students had a history of HBV vaccine booster dose in the protective group. Conclusions Marked reduction in HBs Ab titer was observed among university students where nonprotective titer less than 10 IU/l was detected in 54.5%. Chronic HBV inactive carrier was detected in 5.3%, chronic hepatitis B was detected in 1.5%, and resolved HBV infection was detected in 11%.
