Abstract

Objective: In this study; patients admitted to Diyarbakır Gazi Yaşargil Training and Research Hospital were evaluated retrospectively according to age groups for hepatitis A virus seroprevalence.

Methods: Anti HAV IgG and Anti HAV IgM test results of patients who admitted to our hospital for various reasons between January 2010 and December 2014 were evaluated. HAV IgG and HAV IgM antibodies were studied via chemiluminescence immune method in Advia Centaur XP (Siemens, Germany) system following the manufacturer's instructions.

Results: 97.30% of the samples was positive for Anti HAV IgG and 0.87 of the samples was positive for Anti HAV IgM. Anti HAV IgM positivity was 10% in the 0-10 years age group and 3.09% in the 11-20 age group. We detected advancing age has been found to reduce the incidence of disease and most of the patients encountered disease in childhood and gained immunity.

Conclusion: As a result, in this study we found the HAV seroprevalence in the largest hospital of our province. We thought we could contribute; preventive measures, immunization program studies and determination of vaccine efficacy studies with the light of this data.
