Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in children in Wuhan, and to analyze the expression pattern and distribution of serum markers. Methods Five serum markers of HbsA, HbsAb, HbeAg, HbeAb and HBcAb were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in 67 027 children aged 0-18 years including inpatients, outpatients, and physical examinees in Wuhan Children's Hospital. SPSS24.0 statistical software was used to analyze the results by age and gender. Results The “all negative” detection rate of all 67,027 children was 18.98%. There was a significant difference in the positive rate of HBcAb between male and female. The positive rate of HBcAb was higher in 0~28 days and 1~12 months group and decreased significantly after 1 year old. The positive rate of HBcAb was 5.02% in 1-14 years old but increased slightly in 15-18 years old. Among HBsAb positive children, the positive rate of HBsAb reached the peak of 95.65% in 1~2 years old group and the lowest of 68.90% in 6~14 years old group, and gradually decreased before 15 years old. Among the children with HBsAb concentration ≥100 IU/L, the proportion of 1~2 years old group was the highest (76.99%), and the proportion of 6~14 years old group was the lowest (40.99%). A total of 20 HBsAb serum marker expression patterns were detected, and the detection rates of “single HBsAb+”, “all negative”, “HBsAb+/HBcAb+”, and “HBsAb+/HBeAb+/HBcAb+” were 71.40%, 18.98%, 4.80% and 4.20%, respectively. Among them, 11 kinds of uncommon expression patterns were detected, and 9 kinds of uncommon expression patterns were detected in neonates, with a detection rate of 1.21%, which was higher than that in other age groups. Among all serological patterns, only the detection rate of “single HBcAb+” showed a statistical difference between male and female. Conclusion The HBV infection rate in all ages of 0~18 years old children in Wuhan is low. “Single HBsAb+” is the main serological pattern, and the concentration distribution of HBsAb is mostly in the range of 100-999 IU /L. There is a high “all negative” detection rate. School-age children should be inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine, which may be beneficial to reduce the risk of infection.
