title: [Prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis E virus among residents of different climate and geographic zones of Russia Federation].
abstract: The detection frequency of antibodies to Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) was studied in residents of the South and of the Middle European Part of the Russia Federation as well as of Siberia. Antibodies to HEV were most often found both in patients with hepatic pathologies and in subjects with diseases unrelated with a primary hepatic lesion, in particular, in patients with skin and venereal diseases and with HEV. A higher concentration of antibodies to HEV was noted also in blood donors, medical personnel and isolated communities, like prisons or psychiatric clinics. A correlation was established between the rate antibodies to HEV are registered and such risk factor as contacting with blood or a gross violation of the hygienic rules.
