Abstract

Background: Blood-borne viral infection is a public health problem, especially in high-risk patients, including those with renal failure.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in patients undergoing HEMODIALYSIS.Methods: In this study, 94 patients were recruited and examined for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), HCV antibodies (HCVAb), and HIV using ELISA assay. HCV positivity was confirmed via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The patients were followed-up by testing their blood samples for HBsAg, HCVAb, and HIV on a monthly basis.Results: At the beginning of the study, 3 out of 94 (3.2%) patients were HBsAg positive. In addition, 4 out of 94 (4.3%) patients were HCVAb positive; HCV-positive patients were confirmed via RT-PCR. In addition, three new samples (2 males and 1 female) became HCVAb positive during the follow up. New cases of infection might be associated with exposure to inadequately sterilized DIALYSIS.All the recruited patients were negative for HIV throughout the study.Conclusions: The prevalence of HBsAg and HCV positivity in subjects undergoing HEMODIALYSIS was comparable to most neighboring countries. Strict infection control measures should be taken to prevent infection transmission.
