Abstract
[Objective]To understand the infection status of hepatitis B virus (HBV) among university freshmen,and provide evidence for control work.[Methods]ELISA method was adopted to conduct HBsAg detection on 10 461 freshmen from a university of Guangxi Province during 2007-2009.[Results]The positive rate of HBsAg was 12.78% in 3 years,that of male and female students was 13.39% and 11.43% respectively,and that of students from rural areas and urban areas was 14.39% and 10.03% respectively.[Conclusion] The positive rate of HBsAg in this university is higher than the national prevalence of HBsAg.To control and prevent the HBV transmission in universities,it is necessary to strengthen HBV detection on freshmen and adopt hepatitis B vaccination,health education and other measures
