Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are among the problems affecting public health worldwide. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively examine the results of patients whose hepatitis B (hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HBs (Hepatitis B surface antibody) and hepatitis C serology were analyzed by family physicians in the provincial center of Erzurum and to investigate the change in seroprevalence by gender, age groups, and years. Methods: The serology results of individuals whose HBV and anti-HCV serology were analyzed by family physicians in Erzurum between 2015-2023 were evaluated retrospectively. Hepatitis B virus and anti-HCV analyses of the patients were performed in the Public Health Microbiology Laboratory using the chemilu minescence enzyme immunoassay method in accordance with the study procedure of the producing company. These records of the patients were obtained from the laboratory automation system with permission obtained from the Health Directorate. Results: Our study's population consisted of 150 862 people. The study determined that HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HCV seropositivity rates were 1.7%, 58.0%, and 0.02%, respectively. The difference between HBsAg and anti-HBs seropositivity results was statistically significant between individuals born before 1998 and those born after 1998. Conclusion: In our study, it is significant that the HBsAg positivity rate tends to decrease, and anti-HBs sero- positivity has been observed at higher rates in recent years. The rate of anti-HCV seropositivity was found to be lower compared to other studies conducted in our region.

2015-2023年埃尔祖鲁姆地区乙型肝炎病毒(HBsAg、Anti-HBs)和丙型肝炎病毒血清检测
背景:乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染是影响全球公共卫生的问题之一。在这项研究中,我们旨在回顾性检查由埃尔祖鲁姆省中心的家庭医生分析的乙型肝炎(乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg),抗乙型肝炎(乙型肝炎表面抗体)和丙型肝炎血清学患者的结果,并调查血清阳性率在性别,年龄组和年龄方面的变化。方法:回顾性分析2015-2023年埃尔祖鲁姆地区家庭医生对个体进行HBV和抗hcv血清学分析的血清学结果。在公共卫生微生物实验室按照生产公司的研究程序,采用化学发光酶免疫分析法对患者进行乙型肝炎病毒和抗丙型肝炎病毒分析。这些患者的记录是从实验室自动化系统获得的,并获得了卫生部的许可。结果:我们的研究人群包括150862人。研究确定HBsAg、anti-HBs和anti-HCV血清阳性率分别为1.7%、58.0%和0.02%。1998年以前和1998年以后出生的人群HBsAg和anti-HBs血清阳性结果差异有统计学意义。结论:在我们的研究中,近年来HBsAg阳性率呈下降趋势,抗- hbs血清阳性率呈上升趋势。与本地区进行的其他研究相比,发现抗hcv血清阳性率较低。
