RESUMEN
Objetivo. Describir la prevalencia de maracadores serológicos de los virus de la hepatitis en una población de embarazadas. Material y métodos. Se estudiaron 1 500 sueros de embarazadas en los que se determinaron anticuerpos IgG contra el virus de la hepatitis A (anti-VHA); anticuerpos IgG contra el antígeno central del virus de la hepatitis B (ant-HB-c), y su antígeno de superficie (AgsHB); así como anticuerpos contra el virus de la hepatitis C (anti-VHC). En los casos positivos al AgsHB se buscaron anticuerpos contra el virus de la hepatitis D (anti-VHD) y el antígeno e del virus de la hepatitis B (AgeHB). Todas las determinaciones se realizaron por la técnica de ELISA. Resultados. El 93.3 por ciento de los sueros estudiados tuvo anti-VHA IgG positivos. La prevalencia del AgsHB fue del 0.26 por ciento y de anti-VHC del 0.53 por ciento. No hubo pacientes con positividad para anti-VHD ni para el AgeHB. Conclusiones. Se encontró una prevalencia del AgsHB superior a la de otros estudios en embarazadas mexicanas. Consideramos que el escrutinio del AgsHB debe formar parte de los exámenes de control prenatal
ABSTRACT
Objective. To determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis A, B, C and D virus infection among pregnant women attending a perinatal care hospital. Material and methods. A prospective study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus IgG antibodies (anti-HAV), hepatitis B virus markers (anti-HBcAg and HBsAg) and hepatitis C virus antibodies (anti-HCV) in pregnant women. In HBsAg positive cases, HBeAg and hepatitis D virus antibodies (anti-HDV) were investigated. All analyses were performed with the ELISA technique. Results. Of the 1500 pregnant women studied, 93.3% were positive for anti-HAV IgG. The HBsAg seroprevalence was 0.26% and anti-HCV seroprevalence was 0.53%. There were no patients with HBeAg or antiHDV. Conclusions. A higher seroprevalence of HBsAg was found in this study than in other studies of pregnant Mexican women. We propose that HBsAg screening become a routine prenatal test.
