The prevalence of hepatitis B antigen in blood donors in the Wellington Hospital region is 0-27%. A retrospective survey of 66 persons found by the Wellington Hospital Laboratory to be hepatitis B antigen positive between September, 1971 and August, 1975, showed that over this period there has been a consistent decline in the number of new antigen positive cases found per year. This appears to be due to a decline in the numbers originating in the renal unit. A liver biopsy was taken in only one case and this showed chronic persisting hepatitis. Apart from the renal unit, high risk patients and staff are not tested regularly for hepatitis B antigen. Regular testing of laboratory staff and patients and staff of the cardiothoracic and haematology departments is recommended.
惠灵顿医院地区献血者中乙肝抗原的流行率为0 - 27%。对惠灵顿医院实验室在1971年9月至1975年8月期间发现的66例乙肝抗原阳性者进行的回顾性调查显示，在此期间每年新发现的抗原阳性病例数持续下降。这似乎是由于肾科新发病例数的减少。仅1例进行了肝活检，结果显示为慢性持续性肝炎。除肾科外，高危患者和工作人员未定期检测乙肝抗原。建议对实验室工作人员以及心胸外科和血液科的患者及工作人员进行定期检测。
