ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the seroprevalence of hepatitis viruses in human population of Ganso province.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>ELISA was used for detecting anti-HAY IgG, HBsAg/HBsAb, anti-HCV IgG and anti-HEV IgG of the serum samples. All sample were collected in four areas of KL, LT, HN and ZhL of Gansu province in 2008.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>1977 samples were detected, The positive rates of anti-HAY, HBsAg/HBsAh, anti-HCV, and anti-HEY are 84.57% (1672/1977), 4.81% (95/1977) and 28.73% (568/1977), 0.46% (9/1977),and 13.10% (259/1977), respectively. The positive rate at different age group, for anti-HAY was 43.21% of c 9 years old, 80.23% of 10-19 years old, 93.02% of 20-29 years old, 95.55% of 30-39 years old, 95.60%-97.52% of 40-60 years old. For HBsAg/HBsAb were 2.09% or 29.27%, 3.02% or 21.81%, 6.20% or 36.43%, 5.93% or 31.16%, 6.43% or 3l.43%, 7.32% or 24.88%, 3.33% or 28.89% at the same age group, respectively, for anti-HCV, was 0.59% of 30-39 years old, 1.79% of 40-49 years old, 0.98% of 50-59 years old. For HEY-IgG was 3.48% of < or =9 years old, 6.05% of 10-19 years old, 8.53% of 20-29 years old, 19.29%-21.67% of 30- > or =60 years old.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The inoculation againt HAY and HBY is enhanced in the youngster population.
