Abstract

Background and Aims: HEPATITIS E virus (HEV) is recognized as a common cause of epidemic and sporadic viral hepatitis. HEV outbreaks have been documented in some military forces in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate anti-HEV ANTIBODY in IRANian SOLDIERS.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 800 SOLDIERS were selected by simple random sampling in Tehran, IRAN in 2006. A questionnaire of demographic data was completed and blood samples were obtained for anti-HEV IgG & IgM ANTIBODY. Data were analyzed using student t-test and chi-square using SPSS 12.Results: All SOLDIERS were male and their mean age was 19±1.2. Education level in 553 (69.1%) of them was high school diploma or higher. Anti-HEV IgG ANTIBODY was positive in only 9 (1.1%) of them and IgM was negative in all SOLDIERS.Conclusions: Approximately 98% of SOLDIERS were at risk for HEV infection and before discovering an effective vaccine, preparation of healthy drinking water and personal hygiene education should be considered for prevention of HEPATITIS E infection.
