Title

SHIFTING EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HEPATITIS A INFECTION AND VACCINATION STATUS OF CHILDREN AGED 6 MONTHS-12 YEARS: TIME FOR MASS VACCINATION

Pages

  269-275

Abstract

 Objective: This study was designed to determine the current age-related HEPATITIS A virus (HAV) seroprevalance, VACCINATION status of children and to evaluate the epidemiological shift in HAV serostatus living in TekirdaG, which is located in Thrace region, the European part of Turkey.Methods: Children 6 months-12 years of age with simple health problems were included. Blood samples were studied for HAV IgM and IgG collectively. A questionnaire addressing several characteristics of subjects was administered to obtain basic descriptive data on HAV epidemiology. VACCINATION status of the children was recorded according to the IMMUNIZATION cards.Findings: The overall anti-HAV IgM and anti-HAV IgG prevalance in children aged 6 months-12 years was 3.3% and 25.4% respectively. Maximum HEPATITIS A IgM positivity was in the 7-12 years age group 4.8% (n=12; P<0.001) and maximum HEPATITIS A IgG positivity in the same age group was 34% (n=85; P<0.001). HAV VACCINATION rate among patients aged more than 2 years was 11.03%. HAV IgG seroprevalance was higher in children of low monthly income families (36.1%, n=78; P<0.001) than in the intermediate (17%, n=31) and high income families (11.1%, n=6).Conclusion: These results indicate a shift in HEPATITIS A seroprevalance when compared with the previous studies. As HAV infection in childhood is decreasing, the pool of susceptible adolescents and young adults is increasing. Introduction of HEPATITIS A VACCINATION into the national IMMUNIZATION schedule of Turkey should be considered.
