Abstract

Introduction: WAR INJURY is reported as a risk factor of HEPATITIS B and C, and it is suggested to be also a risk factor for HEPATITIS D. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the correlation between WAR INJURY and HEPATITIS D in HEPATITIS B patients.Material and Method: In this observational (cross - sectional) study, 280 HBsAg positive subjects were divided to a group with the history of WAR INJURY (n = 12) and a group without such history (n = 268). Two groups were compared by the means of frequency of HEPATITIS D (Anti HDV Ab) and other RISK FACTORS including history of blood transfusion, surgery, intravenous drug abuse, dentistry interventions, traditional phlebotomy, tattoo and endoscopy.Results: 3 subjects with the history of WAR INJURY (25%) and 13 subjects without such history (4.9%) had HEPATITIS D. Odds ratio of HDV in subjects with the history of WAR INJURY versus those without such history was 5.10 (95% CI = 1.3 - 20.5). History of blood transfusion was reported more in patients with WAR INJURY than those without such history (p=0.002). History of surgery, intravenous drug abuse, dentistry interventions, traditional phlebotomy, tattoo and endoscopy was not different in two groups (p>0.05).Discussion: Although this study had a low sample size in the group with history of WAR INJURY, and confounding effect of blood transfusion and sex is possible, this study reports history of WAR INJURY as a possible risk factor for HEPATITIS D. Further studies will help to clarify more results. If such study replicates our results, screening of HDV in war injured veterans will be helpful.
