Abstract
HBsAg Carriers Among Brucellosis Cases and the Other Patients in Erzincan in Erzincan SSK Hospital, we investigated the incidence of HBsAg carriers among the cases with brucellosis and the control by using reserve passive haemagglutinatıon (RPHA) method. The overall prevalance of HBsAg carriers was 6 % in the patients and 7.3 in controls. The frequency of the antigen in brucellosis patients and controls did not differ significantly. The HBsAg prevalance in 20-29 age group (12%) was significantly different from that found in other age groups (p 0.05).
