dc.description.abstractAim: Contact with bloodborne pathogens constitutes a critically serious occupational risk for health care professionals. Among them, the most important and the most contagious pathogens are hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immune deficiency viruses This study has been realized with the intention to determine seroprevalences of HBV, HCV and HIV during preoperative period in our patients so as to increase awareness of the health care professionals about risks of haematogenous infections in their daily working environments in addition to emphasizing the importance of protective measures. Material and Methods: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HCV and anti-HIV test results and demographic data of the patients undergoing elective surgery who were operated in the Department of General Surgery of Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University between January 2012 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Statistical analysis was performed with the chisquare test. Results: Data of a total of 659 study patients who had been operated in the Clinics of General Surgery could be accessed. The study population consisted of 659 patients (men, n=330; 50.07 %; women, n=329; 49.93%). HBsAg positivity was detected in 7 (2.1%) patients. Three (0.9%) male patients with anti-HCV positivity were detected. One patients were positive for anti-HIV Conclusion: In conclusion, health care professionals in duty are under a higher risk of contracting HBV, HCV and HIV infections. To minimize occupational infection training of the health care personnel and vaccination against HBV, HCV and HIV infections carry utmost importance.en_US
