Epidemiological analysis of patients with viral hepatitis of applicant to infectious disease outpatient in Duzce University research and training hospital

In this study; it is intended to do the epidemiological analysis of these patients examined retrospectively over the file of in viral hepatitis patients were followed from 2000 to 2013 for Infectious Diseases Outpatient Clinic of Düzce University Research and Training Hospital. In this period followed, the number of patients with acute hepatitis A is 20, these patients are young adult patients. Hepatitis E has not been observed in any patient. Registered forty-six patients with acute hepatitis B are also usually younger patients. In this period, 189 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 1212 inactive HBV carriers were followed. Tooth extraction history as a risk factor in terms of infected in this patients emerges in the fore ground. Various conditions associated with viral hepatitis in the family of a significant proportion of patients are observed. Lamivudine, tenofovir in the treatment chronic hepatitis B most widely used drugs. However, when taken together classic and pegylated interferons; interferons are used much in therapy. In this period, 175 anti HCV positive patients and 88 chronic hepatitis C patients of followed by HCV infection are available. Tooth extractionas as a risk factor such as in HBV infection in these patients frequently seen. Unlike HBV infection, HCV infection was significantly higher in women than men. Most of the patients studied for genotypes and patients with chronic hepatitis C are genotype 1b. When the proportion of the number of patients with anti HCV positive for the number of patients with chronic hepatitis C, the rate of chronic hepatitis C in the literature seem to have lower our rate of chronic hepatitis C infection. The number of our patients with anti HDV positive are 6, the number of our patients with liver cirrhosis are 32, the number of our patients with liver cancer are 7. As a result; there are also do not meet findings with the inclusion of findings conform to world and our country data for the epidemiology of viral hepatitis followed in our outpatient clinic. Non-compliant findings may be due to regional differences.
