Abstract
- Aim. To determine of the prevalence of viral hepatitis A, E, B, C and D markers in migrant workers. Materials and methods. Blood serum samples from 1,333 migrant workers recently arrived in Russia from Uzbekistan (n = 464), Tajikistan (n = 415), Ukraine (n = 308) and Moldova (n = 146) were analyzed. Anti-HAV IgG, anti-HEV IgM and IgG, HBsAg, anti-HBV and anti-HCV were tested using commercial ELISA tests. Results. The frequency of HBsAg detection was significantly higher among migrants from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (5,3% and 5,2%, respectively) compared to migrants from Ukraine (1,0%) and Moldova (3,4%). No anti-HDV was detected in any positive HBsAg sample. The rate of anti-HCV detection was high regardless of the country of origin: 4,5% (Uzbekistan), 4.8% (Tajikistan), 3,9% (Ukraine), 4,8% (Moldova). Anti-HEV IgG was significantly higher in migrants from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan compared to those from Ukraine and Moldova (25,4% and 43,1%, vs. 7,8% and 12,3%, respectively, p
