Amaç: Hepatit A enfeksiyonu epidemiyolojisi yaşam koşullarına göre farklılık gösteren bir sorundur. Bu nedenle hastalığın değişen epidemiyolojisini değerlendirmek koruyucu hekimlik uygulamaları açısından önemlidir. Çalışmanın amacı anne ve bebek çiftlerinde hepatit A antikoru seropozitifliğinin belirlenmesi ve bunu etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 209 anne-bebek çiftinin verileri değerlendirilmiştir. Kan örnekleri annelerden doğumdan 1 ay sonra ve bebeklerinden ise 1. ve 6. aylarda alınmıştır. Hepatit A IgG antikor düzeyleri ELİSA yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Ailelerin sosyo-ekonomik ve demografik özelliklerine yönelik bilgiler yüz yüze uygulanan bir anket yolu ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Annelerde 1. ayda hepatit A seropozitifliği %67, bebeklerde 1. ayda %66,1, 6. ayda %68,9 olarak saptanmıştır. Ebeveynlerin eğitim süresinin, ailenin aylık gelirinin, gravida ve paritenin hepatit A seropozitiflik düzeyine istatistiksel açıdan ileri düzeyde anlamlı etkisi olduğu saptanmıştr. Eğitim düzeyi, aylık gelir arttıkça seropozitiflik oranı düşmekte; gravida ve parite artıkça yükselmektedir. Sonuç: Süt çocuklarında hepatit A seropozitiflik düzeyinin sosyo-ekonomik faktörlerden etkilendiği düşünülmüştür.

Objective: Epidemiology of hepatitis A infection differs according to living conditions. Therefore, evaluating the changing epidemiology of the disease is important for preventive medicine. The aim of the study was to determine the seropositivity of hepatitis A antibody in mothers and their babies and to evaluate the factors affecting it. Materials and Methods: The data of 209 mother-infant pairs were evaluated. Blood samples were collected from mothers one month after birth and at 1 and 6 months of age from their babies. Hepatitis A IgG antibody levels were determined by ELISA method. The socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the families were collected by a questionnaire. Results: The seropositivity of the hepatitis A antibody was 67% in mothers at one month after birth, 66.1% and 68.9% in their babies at 1 and 6 months of age respectively. Parental education, family monthly income, gravity and parity were found to have a statistically significant effect on hepatitis A seropositivity. As the level of education and monthly income increased, hepatitis A seropositivity decreased. On the other hand as parity and gravida increased, seropositivity increased as well. Conclusion: Hepatitis A seropositivity in infants is thought to be affected by socio-economic factors.
