Seroprevalence of Hepatitis A virus according to age groups in Northern Anatolia of Turkey

Öz

Background and Aims: Hepatitis A virus is a cause of acute viral hepatitis that infects millions of people worldwide each year and maintains its prominence in both adults and in childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the hepatitis A seroprevalence in different age groups in Çorum which is the reference center for northern part of central Anatolia and to make recommendations for hepatitis A vaccine according to age groups. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2017 and January 2020. Patients tested for anti-hepatitis A virus for any reasons were enrolled from the data of all patients admitted to our hospital which is the reference center of the region. Serum samples were analyzed by ELISA. S/CO values of ≥ 1.00 were considered positive for anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M, respectively; results below this value were considered negative. Anti hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G and anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M results of patients were analyzed according to age groups. Results: A total of 18817 anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M assays were screened from the computerized database. 4244 assays were excluded for repeated tests from the same patients and inconclusive data. The study included 4115 patients with anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M and 10458 patients with anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G. Total anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G and M positivities were 84.4% and 0.7%. Anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G prevalence was – 85.8% and 83%, and anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M positivity was – 0.98% and 0.38% in men and women. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M according to age groups in Çorum (p < 0.001, p = 0.035). Anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin G seronegativity for 11 - 20 years of age was 28.4% and for 21 - 30 years of age was 24.2%. Conclusion: This study suggests that 11 - 20 and 21 - 30 years of age groups may be in the highest risk group for hepatitis A virus infection with possible complications increasing with age, and this patient group constitutes the target population for vaccination.
