Resumo: |
In order to investigate the seroepidemiological profile of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among female inmates from the Metropolitan Region of Goiânia, 148 women were interviewed on sociodemographic and risk factors for HBV. After, blood samples were collected for the detection of HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The majority of women had less than 36 years of age (77.1%), less than nine years of education (69.8%) and family income less than two Brazilian minimum wage (65.2%). Almost half (46.6%) of female inmates reported stable relationships. An overall HBV prevalence of 18.9% was found. One (0.7%) woman was HBsAg-positive. The anti-HBc was detected in 27 (18.2%) women, being 25/27 associated to anti-HBs, and 2/27 alone. In only 36 (24.3%) female inmates the anti-HBs isolated was detected, suggesting previous hepatitis B vaccination. The analysis of risk factors showed that age over 35 years, less than ten years of education, sexual partner in the prison , and previous STD were independently associated to HBV markers. The results of this study highlight the need for action to prevent the hepatitis B in the prison environment, including health education and immunization against hepatitis B. |
