The occurrences of HBsAg(Hepatitis B Surface Antigen)from sera of Korean dental patients, paid blood donors and normal control population were investigated by means of modified counterimmunoelectrophoresis. And it was pointed out, by the high occurrence of it from dental patients, that Korean dentist and dental patients are exposed to the possible danger to be infected by hepatitis B virus.
1. Of 542 tested from control population, 28 (5.16%) were positive in HBsAg and antiHBsAg was not detected. Among 267 male and 275 female population, HBsAg positives were 16 (5.99%) in male and 12 (4.37%), in female respecti vely.
2. Of 4, 277 tested from paid blood donors from 1973 to 1975, 259 (6.05%) were positive in HBsAg, whereas antillBsAg was not detected.
3. The investigation of HBsAg occurrence from dental patients resulted in that, of 95 tested, 9 (9.47%) were positve, but no antiHBsAg was detectable. Among 51 male and 44 female patients tested HBsAg-positives were 5(9.8%) in male and 4 (9.47%), in female respectively.
