Worldwide viral hepatitis is still recognized as a major public health problem particularly in developing countries. The most common etiologies are acute viral hepatitis A and B, and approximately half of the world’s population lives in regions of high hepatitis B virus(HBV) endemicity. HBV infection is hyperendemic in Korea. A Total number of 4,751 serum(ma1e 2,945, female 1,806) collected from the outpatients in Dae Han General Hospital had been tested to detect for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) and anti-HBs by reverse passive hemagglutination (RPHA) and passive hemagglutination (PHA) method during the period August, 2000 to July, 2001. The positive rate for HBsAg was 4.86%(231/4,751), and that of male was 5.20% higher than female 4.32%. The positive rate of HBsAg by age group was the highest positive rate group in 30-39 years(6.34%), and under 9 years(0.97%) was lowest of all. The positive rate for anti-HBs was 37.82%(1,797/4,751), and positive rate of female was 41.42% higher than male 35.62%. The positive rate of anti-HBs by age group was the highest positive rate group in 10-19 years(41.37%), and under 9 years(20.39%) was lowest rate of all.
