摘要

This study determined the Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) as a serological marker for the viral infection between male and female residents and among various age groups of Julius Berger staff quarters Kubwa Abuja. An immunochromatographic Skytec? HBsAg test strips (manufactured by skytec diagnostics USA) and Alere chase buffer (manufactured by Alere LTD, UK) designed for the qualitative detection of HBsAg in serum was used to screen for the virus among 300 participants that were purposefully selected. The overall seroprevalence of HBsAg in the study population was 7.3%. Although, HbsAg was detected at a higher rate in males than females and the differences was statistically significant (P <0.05). However, among various age groups of 15-19,20-24,25-29 and above 30 years, the difference was not statistically significant (P <0.05). The HBsAg prevalence in this study shows intermediate endemicity which implies that everybody is at risk. Therefore, every individual should be screened routinely and not based on risk factors in order to identify those who will require treatment and vaccination against hepatitis B virus infection.
