Resumen

ALMEIDA VARELA, Ricardo; GONZALEZ GRIEGO, Antonio M.  y  RAMIREZ ALBAJEZ, Victoria. Detection, characterization and guidance of the hepatitis B infected patients in the area of a polyclinic. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2006, vol.25, n.2. ISSN 0864-0300.

A study of 723 serological samples received at “28 de Enero” Teaching Polyclinic from January 1995 to January 1996 was conducted by ELISA to detect the surface immunosystem of the hepatitis B virus. 72 persons with antibodies against the hepatitis B virus that had not been previously vaccinated, and 4 patients infected with this virus were detected. Starting from them, 61 families were studied, 260 samples were analyzed in the secondary screening, 6 new antigens were found, and 26 antibodies were detected in non-vaccinated persons. Of the patients with hepatitis B, only 2 had epidemiological history, 1 presented elevated glutamic piruvic transaminase and 60 % high antigenemia. The active search for asymptomatic reservoirs among those living with hepatitis B infected patients may contribute to the elimination and future erradication of the disease.

Palabras clave : Hepatitis B; living together individuals; apparent transmission.
