Sažetak
AIM:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are globally significant pathogens with drug abuse and sexual promiscuity being major risk factors for transmission. Since we have a lack of data for hepatitis B and C prevalence in Split and Dalmatia County, the aim of this study was to determine rate of positive hepatitis results among sera tested at the Public Health Institute of Split and Dalmatia County. METHODS:During a four-year period (January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019) we routinely tested 6022 patients for HBsAg and 5922 for anti-HCV, as markers of hepatitis B and C virus infection. RESULTS:Out of the total number of 6022 tested sera for HBV, 65 (1, 1%) of them were positive to HbsAg. For HCV, out of the total number of 5922 tested sera, 256 (4, 3%) of them were positive to anti-HCV. We found a higher rate of positive results in the group of tested patients older than 30 years, for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus. Approximately one quarter of patients tested for HBV as well as for HCV, belonged to patients from the anonymous program. Significant differences were found in the rates of positive results for HBV and for HCV among those referred for testing as patients or who were tested as part of an anonymous program. CONCLUSIONS:Data from the Public Health Institute indicates a higher rate of hepatitis C positive results than those tested for hepatitis B, especially in group of patients from the anonymous program.
