In 826 employees from six hospitals and three theoretical clinical institutes of Düsseldorf University HBs-antigen and anti-HBs were determined. HBs-antigen was not significantly more frequent than in a control group. On the other hand anti-HBs was much more common in hospital staff. In probands with histories of liver disease and blood transfusions there was a significantly higher incidence of anti-HBs. Different occupations within the hospitals showed different anti-HBs frequencies.
