Giriş: Bu çalışmada, Hepatit B yüzey antijeni (HBsAg) pozitifliği ile kliniğimize başvuran hastalarda anti-HAV IgG ve anti-HEV IgG seroprevalansını belirlemeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2010-2019 yılları arasında, HBsAg pozitifliği nedeniyle takip edilen 1827 hastanın verileri geriye dönük incelendi.
Bulgular: HBsAg pozitif 1827 hastanın yaş ortalaması 42,71±14,84 idi; 730 (%39,96)’u kadın, 1097 (%60,04)’si erkekti. Anti-HAV IgG bakılmış olan 923 HBsAg pozitif hastanın 830’u (%89,9) pozitif, 93 ’ü (%10,1) negatif saptandı. Anti-HAV IgG negatif hastalar %38,7 oranıyla en sık 21-30 yaş aralığındaydı. Yaş ortalamaları, gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık gösterdi (p=0,001). Anti-HAV IgG pozitif hastalar yaş dağılımı bakımından, anti-HAV IgG negatif olan hastalardan daha yaşlı olma eğilimindeydi. Buna karşılık anti-HAV IgG negatif ve pozitif hastalar arasında cinsiyet bakımından anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p=0,674). Anti-HEV IgG için test edilen 143 HBsAg pozitif hastanın 5’i (%3,5) pozitif saptandı.
Sonuç: Genç Kronik Hepatit B hastalarında daha düşük anti-HAV IgG pozitifliği bulmamız ilgi çekicidir. Hepatit B virüsü saptandığında, hastalardan anti-HAV IgG testi istenmeli ve test sonucu negatif çıkarsa hasta aşılanmalıdır. Çalışma veri analizimiz, düşük bir anti-HEV IgG pozitifliğini de ortaya çıkardı.

Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E Virus Seropositivity in Patients with Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Positivity

Öz

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to determine the anti-HAV IgG and anti-HEV IgG seroprevalence in patients admitted to our clinic with Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity.
Material and Method: Data of 1827 patients followed up on for HBsAg positivity between 2010 and 2019 were obtained retrospectively.
Results: The mean age of 1827 HBsAg positive patients was 42.71±14.84; there were 730 (39.96%) female patients and 1097 (60.04%)male. Of the 923 HBsAg positive patients whose anti-HAV IgG was measured, 830(%89,9) were detected to be positive, and 93 (10.1%) negative. Anti-HAV IgG negative patients were most often in the 21-30 age range (38.7%). Age medians were significantly different between the groups (p=0.001). HBsAg positive patients who were also positive for anti-HAV IgG tended to be older than anti-HAV IgG negative patients. In contrast, there was no significant difference in gender between anti-HAV IgG negative and positive patients (p=0.674). Of 143 HBsAg positive patients who were tested for anti-HEV-IgG, five were positive (3.5%).
Conclusion: It is of interest that we found a lower rate of anti-HAV IgG positivity in young Chronic Hepatitis B patients. When hepatitis B virus is detected, a test for anti-HAV IgG should be requested from patients and if the test result is negative, the patient should be vaccinated. Our study data analysis also revealed a low anti-HEV IgG positivity.
