Abstract
Knowledge regarding distribution of serological markers of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infection in the population of endemic regions is an important indicator of the public health and hygiene. The aim of this study was to determine seroprevalence of HEV among different age groups of the population in Kyrgyzstan regions. 648 serum samples of persons without liver pathology received in December 2014 to February 2015 was tested by immunoassay kit «DS-EIA-ANTI-HEV-G» (Diagnostic systems, Russia). IgG antibodies to HEV were detected in 4.8% (n = 31) of the examined samples. An analysis of the level of seropositivity in different regions and in different age groups of the population was made. The greatest number of seropositive persons were identified in Bishkek and Chuskaya oblast. The antibodies were detected most frequently in individuals aged 1 to 5, 15 to 19 years old and older than 50 years old. The obtained data indicate the constant virus circulation in Kyrgyzstan in interepidemic period.
