Abstract:

Roraima is part of the western Amazon with a high prevalence of HBV, the only hepatitis considered a sexually transmitted disease, which has a higher transmissibility. The aim of this study was to describe the HBV carriers�?? epidemiological profile in the state of Roraima between 2009 and 2013. We used data from SINAN (Diseases Information System Notification). For the statistical analysis, we performed Chi-square and student�??s t test. Our study showed 223 women which represent 43.13% of the total sampled carriers, throughout the period observed the predominance of males (X2=9,771, p=0.0018). Among the race we found a predominance of brown with 61.7% compared to 24.2% white, 11.2% natives and 3.13% black (X2=178.05, p <0.0001). In terms of age the prevalence was between 20 to 39 years (53.8%), followed by 40 to 59 years with 27.8%; 11.6% up to 19 years and 6.7% for those over 60 years (X2=120.40, p <0.0001). Only 27.8% reported to have a complete vaccine immunization schedule and 72.2% incomplete or none (X2 = 63.48, p <0.0001). An important fact was that 74.7% (X2=65,308, p <0.0001) of patients detected to be suffering during their pregnancy, these data might indicate that an efficient prenatal can lead to HBV detection and the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). We observed that people who had contact with a HBV carrier also increased their risk of becoming a carrier (p=0.0017, 95% 15.4098 to 33.7902) strengthening intrafamilial transmission as a risk factor. We conclude that women with HBV in Roraima have a heterogeneous distribution of races, were from 20 to 39 years old, don�??t have the vaccine immunization schedule for HBV, found to be carrier during pregnancy and having contact with hepatitis B carrier increases the risk of contracting this virus.
