Occupational Stress Suppress Production of Anti-HBsAg Antibody in Nurse Staffs Following Hepatitis B Vaccination
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background and Objectives: Vaccination is the major strategy to protect nurses against infection with hepatitis B virus. However, some nurses do not produce sufficient amount of anti-HBsAg antibody required for immunity against infection. Chronic occupational stress has been proposed as a risk factor to humoral immunity. Given that nursing staff is exposed to occupational stress risk, this study was designed to investigate the potential impact of occupational stress on anti-HBsAg antibody titration. Methods: A total of 115 nurses who were fully vaccinated against hepatitis B in triplicate format and whose titers of anti- HBsAg antibody had been measured participated in the study. Titration data was derived from the laboratory archive or the HIS system. Occupational stresses and demographic characteristics were recorded using a validated job stress questionnaire. Data were summarized using descriptive statistical methods and analyzed using ANOVA and t-test. Findings: Nurses with higher occupational stress exhibited significantly lower anti-HBsAg antibody titration. No significant difference in the level of anti-HBsAg antibody titration was observed between the age, sex and BMI-score groups. Conclusions: Based on our results, occupational stress may be an important risk factor to the effectiveness of vaccination against hepatitis B. This implies that stressed nurses are at risk of viral infection. Our study, hence, recommends urgent investigation of this hypothesis at larger scales, and if validated, taking appropriate measures to protect nurses from infection.

متن کاملHepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody (anti-HBs) forming immune complexes in fulminant hepatitis.
This paper reports an unusual pattern of serological HBV markers and the presence of HBsAg/anti-HBs immune complexes in serum samples from two patients with fulminant hepatitis from the Brazilian Western Amazon Basin. The diagnosis was made by both serologic tests and demonstration of antigen/antibody complexes by transmission electron microscopy. Concurrent Delta virus superinfection is also d...
متن کاملCpG oligodeoxynucleotides with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) for vaccination in HBsAg-transgenic mice.
DNA motifs containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides within the context of certain flanking sequences enhance both innate and antigen-specific immune responses, due in part to the enhanced production of Th1-type cytokines. Here we explored the ability of CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides combined with recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to induce Th1 responses in mice that are tr...

Introduction: Vaccination with the major surface antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) induces anti-HBs antibody production and level of 10 IU/L is considered protective. It has been shown that the level of anti-HBs antibody does wane after vaccination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the persistence of anti-HBs antibodies in healthy Iranian children 10 years after primary vaccination. Me...
