Abstract

Background &Aims: HBV infection has occurred in greater than 2 billion people of the world and there is 350 million HBsAg carriers in the world. The rate of chronic carrier state varies among different geographic regions. It is estimated that 3-5% of Iranians are chronic carriers of HBV. Our aim is to survey the prevalence of HBsAg carriers in WEST AZERBAIJAN PROVINCE and compare that with previous statistics.Materials & Methods: In this cross sectional study, all volunteer BLOOD DONORs in the transfusion organization of the WEST AZERBAIJAN PROVINCE were examined by ELISA method in order to survey HBsAg.Collected data was compared with statistics of previous studies in the province and was reported. Results: From all 10200 BLOOD DONORs, 136(1.33%) people were HBsAg carriers, including 119(87.5%) men and 17(12.5%) women and also 107 people were married and the rest were single. Results showed that the rate of HBsAg positive samples increases with aging.Discussion: In comparison to previous studies in 1365 and 1376 in the province, the prevalence rate of HBsAg carrier state has apparently decreased. It seems that warning and educating people about nature of the disease, routs of transmission, and its prevention have essential roles in decreasing the above mentioned rate.
