Abstract

 Background: HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) infection is a significant health problem throughout the world.Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B antigen (HBSAG) seropositivity in the general population of Mashhad, northeast of IRAN.Patients and Methods: One thousand six hundred fifty-two healthy individuals aged 1 to 90 (Mean; 29.1 ± 18.5) from all 12 municipalities of Mashad were selected randomly by multistage cluster sampling. Informed consent was obtained, and demographics and medical histories were collected. Twice-reactive samples were considered HBSAGpositive by ELISA. Chi-square test and logistic regression were applied to analyze the factors related to HBSAG positivity using SPSS 16.0.Results: The overall prevalence of HBSAG positivity was 1.39% (95% CI, 0.91% to 2.12%); 2.0% and 0.89% among men and women, respectively (p=0.054). Infection was more prevalent in older (p=0.019) and married persons (p=0.001), Afghanis (p=0.046), and those with a history of traditional cupping (p=0.005). There was no association between HBV infection and gender; literacy; income; employment; family size; or history of blood transfusion, dental procedure, surgery, hospitalization, or tattooing. By logistic regression analysis, age was the only variable that had a significant association with infection (p=0.026).Conclusion: It seems that the prevalence of HBV infection in Mashhad is slightly lower than that of the nation.
