Özet:

 Aim: Healthcare workers are frequently at risk for infectious diseases, especially pathogens transmitted by blood and blood products. In our study, we aimed to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, which constitute occupational risk, in healthcare workers who underwent routine health screening between 01.05.2022 - 30.04.2023 at Ordu University Training and Research Hospital. Material and methods: Health screening was conducted for the employees of our hospital. The screening results were analyzed retrospectively. HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV, anti-HAV IgG and anti-HIV tests of serum samples taken for health screening were tested by chemiluminescence immunassay method Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany. Results: A total of 771 health workers were included in the study. HBsAg positivity was 1.16, anti-HBs positivity was 88, anti-HCV positivity was 0.2 and anti-HAV IgG positivity was 55.5. An HCV-RNA test was conducted on two employees who tested positive for anti-HCV. The results of the test indicated a negative outcome. Anti-HIV positivity was not detected in any of our healthcare workers. In healthcare workers older than 45 years, Anti-HAV IgG positivity was 96.7 and Anti-HBs positivity was 94.3. Conclusion: Screening examinations of healthcare workers should be performed regularly, trainings should be given against diseases with risk of transmission, and vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases should be encouraged.

 Amaç: Sağlık çalışanları sıklıkla enfeksiyon hastalıklarına özellikle de kan ve kan ürünleriyle bulaşan patojenlere karşı risk altındadır. Çalışmamızda Ordu Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesindeki 01.05.2022 - 30.04.2023 tarihleri arasında rutin sağlık taraması yapılan sağlık çalışanlarında mesleki risk oluşturan hepatit A, hepatit B, hepatit C ve insan bağışıklık yetmezliği virüsü HIV seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemiz çalışanlarına sağlık taraması yapılmıştır. Yapılan tarama sonuçları retrospektif olarak analiz edilmiştir. Sağlık taraması için alınan serum örneklerinden HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV, anti-HAV IgG ve anti-HIV testleri laboratuvarımızda kemiluminesans immunassay yöntemi Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Almanya ile çalışılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 771 sağlık çalışanı dahil edilmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarında HBsAg pozitifliği 1,16, Anti-HBs pozitifliği 88, Anti-HCV pozitifliği 0,2 ve Anti-HAV IgG pozitifliği ise 55,5 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Anti-HCV pozitif saptadığımız 2 çalışanımıza HCV-RNA testi çalışılmış ve test sonucu negatif bulunmuştur. Hiçbir sağlık çalışanımızda Anti-HIV pozitifliğine rastlanmamıştır. 45 yaşından büyük sağlık çalışanlarında Anti-HAV IgG pozitifliği 96,7 ve Anti-HBs pozitifliği 94,3 bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının tarama muayenelerinin düzenli olarak yapılarak, bulaş riskinin olduğu hastalıklara karşı eğitimler verilmeli, aşı ile önlenebilir hastalıklar yönünden aşılanmaları teşvik edilmelidir.
