Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: HEPATITIS D virus is a defective RNA containing virus that only infects human in the presence of HBV either as a coinfection or as superinfection in HBV CARRIERS. HEPATITIS D may accelerate the progress of chronic HBV infection to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. More than 3% of population in our country is chronic HBV CARRIERS. The aim of this study was to determine the PREVALENCE of ANTI HDV in asymptomatic HBV CARRIERS in Babol. METHODS: This prospective study was performed on all HBV CARRIERS who were diagnosed by Babol blood bank center and also their infected family members during 2000-2002. In all cases, ANTI HDV were assayed by Elisa. Proportions were compared by T-test, Chi-square and Fishers exact tests. FINDINGS: From 546 cases of HBV CARRIERS, 319 (58.4%) were male and 227 (41.6%) were female. 489 (89.6%) cases of anti Hbe+ (mean age±SD; 32.13±11.9 years) and 57 (10.4%) cases of HbeAg+ (mean age±SD; 23.7±11.24 years) were studied. ANTI HDV was positive in 6 (1.9%) of males and 5 (2.2%) of females (p=0.769). ANTI HDV was positive in 7 (1.4%) cases of Anti Hbe+ and 4 (7%) of HbeAg+ cases (p=0.02). In total, the PREVALENCE of ANTI HDV was 2% in all patients.CONCLUSION: The results showed that HDV is endemic in our area and its PREVALENCE is higher in HbeAg+ cases. The study of PREVALENCE of ANTI HDV in high-risk groups is recommended.
