Prevalence of the hepatitis B and C viruses markers in the hemodialysis departments

Abstract

In totals 145 patients and 63 employees of the hemodialysis department were studied for the estimation of the prevalence of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection markers (HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, anti-HBe, anti-HCV). Serological HBV-markers were detected in 97 (66,9%) patients, anti-HCV – in 13 (9,0%), HBsAg and anti-HCV combination in 1 case (0,7%). Antibodies to hepatitis D virus in HBsAg(+) and HBsAg(–)/HBV DNA(+) patients were absent. Serological markers were defined most often on early terms of program hemodialysis treatment: in the first 0–6 months – in 57,9%, from 6 till 12 months – in 42,9%, more than 1 year – in 30,4% of the cases. HBV-markers have been revealed at employees in the first 5 years of work in 10,0%, and at the experience more than 10 years – already in 31,3% of cases. The «latent» HBV-infection was detected at 3 patients (2,1%): in one case – seronegative hepatitis B (HBV DNA without serological markers), in two – the presence of HBV DNA and «isolated» anti-HBc. Sequence analysis of PCR products amplified from the S region in three isolates (genotype D, subtype ayw3) revealed T118А replacement. Patients and personnel of the hemodialysis department still remain high risk group of the HBV and HCV infection.
