Serum samples were tested for HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HCV and anti-HIV markers by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method based on chemiluminescence.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Results<\/strong>: The employees comprised of 230 (40.0%) males and 344 (60.0%) females. They were grouped according to their specialties, which included 292 (50.9%) healthcare team members and 282 (49.1%) other employees. Healthcare team comprised of 53 (9.2%) physicians, 116 (20.2%) nurses, 47 (8.2%) midwives, 12 (2.0%) medical officers, and 64 (60.4%) other medical staff. The other employees comprised of 90 (15.6%) secretaries, 65 (11.3%) cleaning staff, 62 (10.6%) administrative staff, and 65 (11.2%) other workers. While 468 (81.5%) personnel were positive for anti-HBs, only 7 (1.2%) were found positive for HBsAg. Only 1 (0.2%) personnel was positive for anti-HCV. None of the employees was positive for anti-HIV.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Conclusions<\/strong>: All staff who works in health institutions are at high risk for HBV, HCV and HIV infections. The staff in healthcare establishments must periodically undergo a check-up and those who are not immunized yet must be vaccinated for HBV.
