- Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most prevalent pathogens in the world and infection with this virus is a serious threat for public health. The pathogenesis of HBV depends on the critical interplay between viral and host factors . Test 88 samples for the detection of serological markers using ELISA and PCR technique for positive HBsAg. Regarding population group (HBsAg) positive, the seroprevalence rate of HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc IgM, HBc Total HBeAg , anti-HBe and HBV DNA were 25%, 5%, 12%, 10%, 9%, 17% and 22% respectively. In this study, hepatitis was diagnosed with the following tests HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc IgM, anti-HBc total using the ELISA device. HBV DNA was also tested using PCR. To determine the stage of the disease, the HBeAg, anti-HBe and ALT test was added and the stages of the disease were Chronic HBV, Acute HBV, Incubation period, Recovery stage, Window stage, false positive and carrier stage 36.36%, 25%, 17.07%, 15.90%, 2.27%, 2.27 % and 1.13% respectively.
