dc.description.abstractObjective: We aimed to determine the seropositivity of hepatitis A infection in patients aged between 2-16 years who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of a university hospital in Eastern Anatolia. Material and Method: We studied 685 subjects, aged between 2-16 years, who were admitted to our Department between 2004 January and 2005 July. We used ?2 test to evaluate serological results. Results: There is statistically significant increase of hepatitis A seropositivity in subjects attending school when compared with subjects before primary school (?2: 18,46, p<0,00001). There is no significant difference of serological results between subjects of rural and urban origin (?2: 0,82, p=0,365). Conclusions: Age of exposure to hepatitis A infection for children is increasing towards puberty. Hepatitis A vaccination should be recommended for susceptible children before attending primary school.en_US
