Abstract:

Objective To study the hepatitis virus infections of 2 812 pregnant women during late pregnancy in Qingshan area of Wuhan city. Methods By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the hepatitis A virus(HAV), hepatitis B virus(HBV), hepatitis C virus(HCV) and hepatitis E virus(HEV) seromarkers were determined among the pregnant women during late pregnancy. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLIA) was used to determine the level of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg). Results There were 210 cases (7.47%) of HBsAg positive, 11 cases (0.39%) of anti-HCV positive, 6 cases (0.21%) of anti-HAV IgM positive, 11 cases (0.39%) of anti-HEV IgM positiveand 422 cases (15.01%) of anti-HEV IgG positive. Conclusions In pregnant women during late pregnancy, HBV infections should be paid more attention, and the determination of hepatitis virus infection seromarkers has an important significance.
