Abstract
Objective: At the present time viral hepatitis and HIV infection are important health problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the rates of HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV and anti-HIV seropositivity in people those admitted to Bitlis State Hospital and Tatvan State Hospital between December 2012 and November 2013. Material and Methods: Blood samples from the patients were analysed in using chemiluminescence method. Results: For HBsAg, 20.484 samples were analyzed and 933 (4,5 %) of these samples were positive. For anti-HBs, 16.965 samples were analyzed and 5.759 (34,4 %) of these samples were positive. For anti-HCV 19.685 samples were analyzed and 18 (0,09 %) of these samples were positive. For anti-HIV 14874 samples were analyzed and only 1 sample was positive (0,007 %). Conclusion: In conclusion; despite the relatively lower rate of HIV seropositivity, hepatitis viruses, particularly HBV remains to be a significant health problem in our province. The seropositivity rates for HBsAg in our region were comparable to those seen across Turkey. Whereas, the seropositivity rates for anti-HIV and anti-HCV were lower than the average rate in Turkey.
