| Summary: | ABSTRAK
Hospital personnel, especially those who have direct contact with patients or patience blood, are highly exposed to hepatitis 13 virus. The results of anti-HBs and HBsAg examinations, using the PHA and IIPHA methods, were cross-tabulated by task, gender and length of employment.
Among the 843 personnel, consisting of 650 females and 193 males, 23 were positive liBsAg (2.72%) and 111 positive anti-HBs (13.16%). No statistically significant differences in hepatitis serologic marker prevalence were found between the task and gender groups. There was, however, a significant difference between the length of employment groups.
Xey Words: horizontal transmission, high risk group, minimal exposure rate
