Abstract

OBJECTIVE To know more clearly about the situation of Hepatitis B virus markers in clinical medical workers and take further interventional strategies to protect high risk medical workers.METHODS Hepatitis B virus markers in doctors,nurses and medical checkers who have contacted with patients′ blood,body fluid,or other occupational hazard situation,were detected by of ELISA.RESULTS Among the 587 medical workers detected,311 were with deficiency of active immunity(52.98%),196 were HBV infectors(33.39%).CONCLUSIONS Medical workers are in high risk groups of HBV infection.Medical institutions should attend to their self-protection and encourage them to take HBV vaccine to prevent iatrogenic transmission.
