Background and Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the seroepidemiology of HEV in a tertiary care hospital including date of eight years. Methods: Medical records of the patients who have been tested for HEV serology between January 2006 and July 2013 were reviewed. A serum sample of the patients was tested for HEV IgM and IgG antibodies by ELISA method (DIA-Pro, Italy). Results: A total of 6391 patients' HEV serology results was examined. The average age of the patients was 49.1 years (0-85 year) and 3337 (52.2%) of them were females. Of the 6391 patients 4735 (74.1%) were over 18 years-old. Out of 6391 patients 205 (3.2%) were found positive for HEV (IgM, IgG). Of 205 positive results 137 (66.8%) were positive for IgG and 68 (33.2%) were positive IgM and 182 (86.8%) of them were over 18 years old. The high seropositivity was detected in patients from gastroenterology clinic (29.8%). Seropositivity of IgG among adults was found significantly higher than children (p |
