title: [Determination of hepatitis B markers in previously diagnosed hepatitis patients during a one-year period].
abstract: In this study, total 1699 sera collected from patients suspected viral hepatitis were investigated by means of Hepatitis B markers by ELISA method between June 1991-June 1992 in Microbiology laboratory of Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Medicine, Sivas. HBsAg, Anti-HBs and Anti-HBc IgM were screened as Hepatitis B markers. As a result, 16.9% of 1699 patients' sera were positive for HBsAg, 28.9% of 1318 sera were positive for Anti-HBs and 5% of 1056 sera were positive for Anti-HBc IgM.
