Özet

Aim: Hepatitis-A virus (HAV) is a disease that can be seen all over the world and spread easily due to the fact that it can be transmitted by the fecal-oral route. Because it is a disease that can be easily prevented by correcting vaccination and sanitation conditions, it is important to follow up on current seroprevelans and sanitation conditions and take local vaccination policies and other measures in this direction. In our study, we aimed to determine the sensitive population by revealing the current Seroprevalence of HAV in different geographical regions of our country.
