Awareness of Hepatitis B Infection Amongst the People of Southeastern Anatolia: A Seroprevalence Study
Abstract
Objective: Viral hepatitis has
become a silent epidemic worldwide. The aim of the present study is to
determine the knowledge and awareness of Hepatitis B infection amongst patients
who refer to our clinic and their relatives.
Material-Method: 244 patients randomly
selected from among patients admitted to our clinic were included this study
and data about Hepatitis were obtained. Then, hepatitis condition of the
patients was determined by The
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data were compared.
Results: 72 patients were Antibody to the hepatitis
B surface antigen(+) (anti-HBs (+)). 25 patients had
received three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine and 47 patients were unaware of
their anti-HBs (+) status. 14 patients were Hepatitis B surface antigen(+) (HBsAg (+)). 11
patients had known HBsAg (+) and 3 patients were unaware of their condition.
Conclusions: In order to decrease the burden of
hepatitis in dental health care workers, it is recommended that the dental
professionals should receive immunization against hepatitis virus and should
use individual protective equipment such as gloves, head caps, masks, etc.
Necessary tests for the infectious diseases should be applied to all patients
admitted to the clinic.
