Objective:To understand the status of HBV infection of practitioners in Guangzhou City during 2005-2009,and provide scientific basis for controlling HBV prevalence.Methods: ELISA was used for determination of HBsAg and HBeAg.Results: From 2005 to 2009,the average positive rate of HBsAg was 5.01%(52748/1052570);the average positive rate of HBeAg was 1.50%(15758/1052570) on the total people tested,the HBeAg positive rates account for 29.87%(15758/52748) of the HBsAg positive people;In view of the age distribution,the HBsAg positive rate of 30-year old group was the highest(5.40%),and the highest HBeAg positive rate was in 30 years old group(1.86%),the difference in the age distribution has statistical significance(P0.001).The positive rate of HBeAg decreases with age and the positive rate of HBeAg and HBsAg is higher in males than that in females,with the difference having statistical significances(P0.001).Conclusion: The status of HBV infection in practitioners was decreasing year by year in Guangzhou.Through popularization of prevention health education and health promotion,and inoculation of hepatitis B vaccine,the infection of HBV can be gradually reduced.
