1 Viral hepatitis Dr Mahmood Nabavi Iranian CDC

2 Viral hepatitis - Five virus species are the cause of most of human viral hepatitis cases, and due to the time of their recognition named : A-B-C-D-E. - B & C & Delta viruses are blood borne viruses that transmit via blood rout and rarely sexual. - A&E viruses transmit fecal-orally by contaminated food and water. - B&C viruses have the potential for triggering chronic hepatitis that may end in cirrhosis and liver cancer (hepatoma ).

3 Vial hepatitis-2 Borden of viral hepatitis in I. R. Iran : it is estimated due to data's that gathered in the last DHS studies in 2009, that 1.7% of Iran population are HBSA carriers, and below 1% are HCV+. In high risk groups like IDUs, HCV prevalence is between 30 to 50% and HBV prevalence is 7 to 10%. In different provinces of the country it differs from 1% to 5% due to tattooing and drug abuse are more frequent in that high endemic areas

4 Viral hepatitis -3 In surveys from 2010 till 2012 in10000 pregnant women in labor facilities of 14 provinces of the country rate of HBs Ag carriers was 1.2 % and HCV Ab positive about 0.1%. Also at the same time in 12 prisons in 2000 prisoners rate of HCV Ab positivity was 12% due to concentrated epidemic of disease in IDUs.
