Abstract

Background: Hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a blood-borne virus. Some data demonstrate an occupational risk of HGV infection in DIALYSIS STAFF. The presence of HGV envelope protein E2 antibody (anti-E2) testifies past HGV contact. The aim of this study was to detection of HGV anti-E2 in DIALYSIS STAFF.Methods: This study was undertaken in a dialysis unit in Tehran. In 27 DIALYSIS STAFF, presence of HGV anti-E2 was detected by an ELISA assay and compared with 77 hemodialysis (HD) and 13 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. All of the subjects were also screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), and hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV).Results: HGV anti-E2 was not found in any of DIALYSIS STAFF (0%). The frequency of HGV anti-E2 was 3.89% and 0% in HD and CAPD patients respectively .The Frequency of anti-HCV and anti-HBs in staff was 0% and 33.33% respectively.Conclusion: We didn't find HGV anti-E2 in DIALYSIS STAFF in our study. So occupational risk for HGV exposure was minimal in our investigation.
