The aim of this study was to determine anti-HCV, anti-HDV and anti-HIV prevalance in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (+) positive patients and to examine patients with positive anti-HDV. Materials and Methods: Data were obtained through scanning hepatitisB patient follow-up files and the hospital automation system. Descriptive data was expressed in numbers and percentages (%). Results: Mean age of 1829 HBsAg positive patients was 42.65 +/- 14.83 (7-95) and 1099 (60.1%) were male and 730 (39.9%) were female. 30 patients (1.64%) had anti-HCV and 28 patients (1.53%) had anti-HDV while 1 patient (0.055%) had positive anti-HIV. The mean age of the patients with positive anti-HDV was 53.16 +/- 15.46 and 12 of these (42.9%) were female and 16 (57.1%) were male. Fifteen HDV positive patients were given peginterferon and 10 patients had relapse and 4 patients had hepatocellular cancer during the follow-up. A patient died due to the quick progression of the disease after deciding upon transplantation. Conclusion: Patients should also be scanned for hepatitis C, D and HIV in the presence of hepatitis B infection and the patient should be followed up and treated accordingly if coinfection is detected.</dc:description><dc:publisher>GALENOS PUBL HOUSE</dc:publisher><dc:date>2021-04</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/15852</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.4274/vhd.galenos.2020.2020.0014</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>1307-9441</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>VIRAL HEPATIT DERGISI-VIRAL HEPATITIS JOURNAL</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/15852</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
