Résumé
Prevalence of asymptomatic Hepatitis B carrier state varies in different countries. Surgical procedures are an important mode of dissemination of Hepatitis B virus infection. Five hundred patients whose HBsAg status was not known and had undergone a major operative procedure in the Dhaka Medical College Hospital were screened for HBsAg. Of these, 43 (8.6%) were found to be HBsAg positive. Age, sex, and previous history of jaundice didn't show any relationship with the HBsAg status. But the HBsAg positivity was found to be positively related to the past history of blood transfusion, hospitalization and injections.

Detailed history and clinical examinations were performed in all patients and outcome was recorded. Of the 100 patients studied there were 73(73%) males, 27 (27%) patients had no formal schooling and 53 (53%) had some education. 48 (48%) patients were from middle class and 36 (36%) were poor, 66 (66%) patients were aware that they were hypertensive though only 8 (12.9%) were taking anti-hypertensive drugs regularly. 62% of the patients had suffered from stroke within 5 years of detection of hypertension, and 15 (15%) patients died in the hospital.
