Keywords: HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, seropositivity

Objective: We aimed to study HBsAg, anti- HBs, anti - HCV and anti-HIV seropositivity, age and gender distribution of patients who admitted to a private hospital in Elazig between 1 June 2011 - 31 August 2012.

Materials and Methods: Serum samples were evaluated retrospectively, using automation recording for HBsAg, anti - HBs, anti - HCV and anti-HIV seropositivity. All tests were performed with chemiluminescent immunoassay methods. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.

Results: 7835 serum samples were studied for HBsAg, 3845 for anti -HBs, 6649 for anti-HCV and 4699 for anti- HIV of a total of 23,028 samples. Seropositivity was determined in 448 (5.7%) for HBsAg, 1759 (45.7%) for anti-HBs, 66 (0.99%) for anti-HCV and 1 (0.021%) for anti HIV. When analyzed according to age range of patients, HBsAg positivity is mostly seen in range of age 40-49, this age range is 60 years and older for anti-HBs and anti-HCV while 20-29 for anti-HIV positivity. Seropositivity rates were found as the lowest between age 0-9 and 10-19 respectively for HBsAg. When assessed by gender, HBsAg and anti-HCV positivity was higher in women, anti-HBs and anti-HIV were found at higher rates in males.

Conclusion: In our city hepatitis and anti-HIV seropositivity rates have been found lower compared to the general population of our country. Effective implementation of community-based screening, vaccination and training programs will be the rational approach for reducing major public health problems.
