The prevalence of markers for present or past hepatitis B infection has been studied in 1230 staff members of anaesthesiology units throughout Norway. HBsAg was not detected in any of the participants in the study. The prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis B in the younger participants was similar to that in the control group, but was significantly increased among the older participants and in those with longer seniority in medical work. This result was to some extent influenced by a fairly large number of staff members who had grown up or had had professional experience in countries with a higher prevalence of hepatitis B. The results may be interpreted as reflecting a very moderate incidence of hepatitis B infections in anaesthesiology units during the last 15 years. However, relevant to the discussion of vaccination programs for these units are three reported cases of hepatitis B infections with a fatal outcome among Norwegian anaesthesiologists, suggesting a greater severity of hepatitis B infections within this occupational group.
在挪威各地麻醉科的1230名工作人员中，对目前或既往感染乙型肝炎的标志物患病率进行了研究。研究中未在任何参与者中检测到乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）。年轻参与者中乙肝抗体的患病率与对照组相似，但在年长参与者和医疗工作资历较长的参与者中显著增加。这一结果在一定程度上受到相当数量在乙肝患病率较高国家长大或有专业经验的工作人员的影响。这些结果可以解释为反映了过去15年麻醉科中乙型肝炎感染的发生率非常低。然而，与这些科室的疫苗接种计划讨论相关的是，有3例挪威麻醉师感染乙型肝炎并导致死亡的报告病例，这表明该职业群体中乙型肝炎感染的严重性更高。
