TI  - Seroprevalence of hepatitis B and C in subjects admitted to a cardiology clinics 
      in Turkey.
PG  - 255-8
AB  - A seroepidemiological study was conducted to assess the seroprevalence of 
      hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and antibodies to hepatitis C virus 
      (Anti-HCV) in 14,196 patients hospitalized in our cardiology clinics. 
      Threehundred and fifty five (355) patients (2.43%) were found to be positive for 
      HBs Ag, a hundred and sixty six (166) patients (1.09%) were positive for Anti-HCV 
      and ten patients (0.07%) were positive for both. The presence of HBs Ag and 
      Anti-HCV was similar in patients living in rural and urban areas. The presence of 
      risk factors was greater in the patients with Anti-HCV. The prevalences of HBs Ag 
      and Anti-HCV were found to be comparable with those reported in other 
      mediterranean countries in Europe.
