چکیده
Background: Hepatitis B is the most common chronic viral infection and a significant contributor to morbidity death globally. Based on mother's hepatitis e antigen (HBeAg) status, probability of perinatal HBV in children delivered mothers with ranges from 10% 85%.Aim: determine prevalence virus among women childbearing age eastern region Algeria investigate risk factors for recommend ways reduce disease's impact neonatal mortality.Methods: We conducted cross-sectional study Sétif, Algeria, 2005 2007 assess Surface Antigen age. This first only one Algeria. Data factors, obstetrics, sociodemographic were gathered using structured questionnaire; they subsequently tested an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay HBsAg. The data collected entered processed Epi info 3.3.2 software. Infection prevalence, sociodemographic, clinical, obstetric variable frequency distributions calculated. student's t-test Fisher's exact test applied, at significance level 5%.Results: There are834 age's medical records examined this study. 1% HBsAg findings positive. Positive didn't significantly correlate any other variables, including age, place residence, municipality, marital occupation, parity, current pregnancy, reason consultation, transmission (blood transfusion, recent piercing, dental care, shared personal hygiene equipment, injection multiple use tattoo, scarification, partner characteristics). However, history jaundice has protective effect against positive.Conclusion: Although our results classify two municipalities studied as low areas (< 2%). Prenatal screening strongly advised.
