Abstract

Background and objective: TATTOOING is a risk factor for occurrence of viral infections. In order to determine the prevalence of viral infections in women who had a history of TATTOOING, this study was conducted.Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, in a time period of 2 years from July 2004 to September 2006, a total of 63 women who had a history of TATTOOING were selected. They were the women, who fitted the selection criteria. These criteria included; having no history of vaccination against hepatitis B and no history of hepatitis, icterus, blood transfusion, blood let, surgery, injection drug use and no history of hepatitis in the husbands in married women. After recording the demographic data, blood sample was drawn from each case. Then sera were evaluated with ELISA method for HBsAg and anti-HBc (Kit Dia sorin bio-medica) and antibody against HCV and HIV. Positive samples for HCV and HIV were also confinned by western blot.Results: Among 63 cases with history of TATTOOING, 5 cases (7.9 %) were positive for HBsAg. Anti-HBc was seen in 33.3% of subjects. Two cases were positive for anti-HCV. HCV infection was confirmed by western blot in only one case. HIV test was positive in two cases. In recent group, one case had a history of immigration for one year to a neighbour country but this test did not confinn by western blot because she did not assist us for more evaluation.Conclusion: Although, the sample size was small, but upon present results, TATTOOING could be a potent risk factor for occurrence of infection.
