Abstract (2. Language):
In order to investigate seasonal distribution of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) seropositivity, in four seasons a total of 310 blood samples (82 in spring, 70 in summer, 93 in fall, 65 in winter) were collected from healthy subjects. Anti HEV IgG and IgM antibodies were searched by enzyme immunoassay. HEV seropositivity was 13.4% in spring, 4.3% in summer, 5.4% in fall and 10.8% in winter season. There was no statistically significant difference among the seasons.

Hepatit E virus (HEV) seropozitifliğinin mevsimsel dağılımını araştırmak amacıyla dört mevsimde toplam 310 sağlıklı kişiden (ilkbaharda 82, yazın 70, sonbaharda 93, kışın 65) kan örnekleri alındı. Enzyme immunoassay yöntemi ile serumlarda anti HEV IgG ve IgM antikorları araştırıldı. HEV seropozitifliği ilkbaharda %13.4, yazın %4.3, sonbaharda %5.4, kışın %10.8 olarak bulundu. Mevsimler arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark gözlenmedi.
