Title

HEPATITIS B INFECTION: PREVALENCE AND RESPONSE TO VACCINATION AMONG HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN BABOL, NORTHERN IRAN

Pages

  189-194

Abstract

 Background & Objectives: HEPATITIS B is one of the major health problems in the world. Health care workers (HCWs) are at high risk of acquiring HEPATITIS B virus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of HBV infection and the immune response to HBV vaccine among the HCWs in Babol, northern Iran.Methods: This study was accomplished on 527 HCWs and administrative staff working at Rohani Hospital, Babol, northern Iran from 2011 to 2012. HBs- Ag, HBc- Ab and HBs- Ab were measured by ELISA method. All susceptible staff vaccinated with recombinant HEPATITIS B vaccine (Pasteur Institute of Iran) and HBs-Ab titer was evaluated 3 months after the last dose.Results: Anti-HBc was positive in 32 (6.1%) and HBs-Ag in 4 (0.75%) of the participants. The HBV exposure in HCWs was four times greater than the administrative staff (6.65% vs.1.63%). There was significant association between HBV exposure and occupation and also educational level (P<0.001), however, this association was not found with age and gender. Seroconversion was seen in 211 (91.7%) of 230 participants who received three-dose series of HEPATITIS B vaccine. The seroconversion is significantly decreasing by the increase of age (P<0.001), however, no significant association was seen with age and gender.Conclusion: Considering high HBV infection exposure in HCWs, it is mandatory to ensure VACCINATION program and postvaccination evaluation along with education and safe work environment preparation.
