“…Sharma et al have reported the prevalence of 2.31% among general population attending OPD at a tertiary care hospital. [6] In this present study, higher HBV prevalence was observed among in males (2.2%) as compared to the females (0.89%) in females. Findings were in concordance with other earlier studies.…”

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B infection is a major global health problem. The seroprevalence of Hepatitis B virus infection among general population attending at a tertiary care hospital is useful in assessing the magnitude of HBV infection and helps in devising preventive measures. The co-infection of Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus with HIV accelerates disease progression and may complicate the management of patients infected with HIV. This study was designed to determine hepatitis B virus infection among patients attending tertiary care centre in NorthEast India. MATERIALS & METHODS A total of 11399 serum samples, collected from patients attending outpatient or inpatient departments and ART centre, were screened for HBsAg using 3 rd generation ELISA (Qualisa HBsAg, Qualpro Diagnostics, Goa, India) in this retrospective study. RESULTS Seroprevalence of HBsAg was 1.23%. Seropositivity was seen more in males (2.2%) as compared to females (0.89%). Among males, highest occurrence was found in the age group of 21-30 (3.29%) years followed by 31-40 (2.94%) years and 41-50 (2.37%) years. Among females, highest prevalence was observed in age group of 51-60 (1.39%) years followed by 61-70 (1.15%) years and 41-50 (1.13%) years. CONCLUSION Present study showed that the overall rate of HBsAg positivity in our center was 1.23%. Males and younger age group were found to be more affected probably due to horizontal transmission.

“…The present study, conducted over a period of 8 months on a total of 1800 samples for Hepatitis B surface antigen reports a percentage prevalence of 2.11%. Some other studies done in cities have found similar positivity, like 2.45% among twenty thousand blood donors of Kanpur city [13]; 2.31% in OPD patients in Udaipur, Rajasthan [14] and 2.25% in hospital based population in Karad, Maharasthra [15]. A study conducted by Dwivedi et al [16] in Allahabad has found prevalence of 0.9% in pregnant females.…”

Background and Objective:The prevalence of infection often varies with geographical location. The aim of present study was to establish sero-prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen among hospital based population in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Methodology & Study group:The study included a total of 1800 cases, which were enrolled in the out-patient department of Government Medical College, Banda from January 2017 to August, 2017. All serum samples were screened for hepatits B surface antigen (HBsAg) using rapid card method. Results:Of the tested 1800 samples, a total of thirty-eight (2.11%) cases were found positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. Majority positive cases were in the age groups of 21-30 and 31-40, both having 23% and 21% positivity respectively. Out the total 38 positive cases,25 cases were males (65%) and 13 cases were females (35%). Conclusion:The study throws light on the magnitude of viral transmission in the rural community in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh state and provides a reference for future studies with a focus in rural areas.

“…[10] Another hospital-based population study by Sharma M et al 2017 at Udaipur, Rajasthan found the prevalence HBV to be 2.31% among OPD patients. [13] Lower prevalence rates were found in studies such as, a study by Vazhavandal G et al 2014 in their hospital-based study at Tamil Nadu, found prevalence rate of only 1.61 %. [11] Similarly, a low prevalence rate of 1.2% was found by Naqshbandi I et al 2016 in their Community based study at Srinagar, Kashmir.…”

Introduction: HBV is a DNA virus belonging to family Hepadnaviridae. HBV infection leads to a wide spectrumof liver diseases ranging from acute to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis & hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV is knownto be the 10th leading cause of death. WHO estimates that worldwide more than 2 billion people have beeninfected with HBV. India accounts for a very large proportion of the HBV burden.Aim and objectives: To study the seroprevalence of Hepatitis B virus infection among patients attending ourhospital, to know the prevalence among different age groups and among different gendersMaterial and Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study carried out at Dept. of Microbiology,SHKM Govt. Medical College and hospital, Nalhar, Nuh, Haryana for the duration of 6 months (April 2019 toSeptember 2019). A total of 9000 serum samples collected from patients attending outpatient departments,indoor patients and Intensive care unit of SHKM hospital.Results: It was seen that out of 9000 patients, 432 patients were positive for HBsAg with the prevalence rate4.8%. The prevalence was higher in females (5.58%) as compared to males (4.19%). The frequency of HBVamong age group 1-14, 15-40 and > 40 years was 8.4% (36), 48.3% (209) and 43.3% (187) respectively.Conclusion: Our study highlights HBV infection rate in this part of Haryana and shall provide reference tofuture studies on the epidemiology of HBV infection. It helps us to understand and assess the magnitude ofdisease in the community.Keywords: Seroprevalence, Hepatitis B, Haryana
